Moving on.......
Well, for those that are still following this blog....don't know why cause the season is over, here's the big news.......I am retiring from skeleton.
Yup, that's right, I officially retired yesterday after quite some pondering. The picture says it all, South Beach Miami, now if we could do skeleton in the sand.......
Actually, I am retiring from this sport, with no regrets, but it does not mean that I am done with my quest to get to the Olympics 2010. Whatever happens now, I see it that I have 4 years to prepare.
I have still offered my services as a spare on the Greek bobsled team if they decide to continue.
I have told my parents of my decision, and since this quest is in their honour, their only obligation is to stay alive so they could see it happen....I will keep you all posted from time to time.
For now, let's enjoy the coming summer months.....

Dee,
Glad to hear you are doing well, Skeleton was probably a smaller step to the bigger picture. If anyone I know who is comitted to anything in LIFE it is you....eh hem...and Sylvia your wife.
I am still re-arranging my life as to be off during the WINTER competition months for Skeleton....long haul but someone has got to do it. Not going to live life with regret......the big "what if". I hope to see you around North America snow reigion in the future.
I practice on the ice once a week and special training at the gym and track.....gotta get those wheels balanced (form) before I finally put in a all out push at my starts. Muscle memory.
DEE....I got a feeling we might see eachother with those batman outfits on in 2010...won't that be a sight!
Dee bud, take care for now.
