Calgary, Canada

We made it to Calgary about 3 days ago. Its just like Cool Runnings the bobsled movie just to give everyone something to relate the location to.

Its cold here compared to Lake Placid and Park City, but that always seems to happen. We slid yesterday and today, the ice is a lot harder here, so if you don't relax enough you skid and slow yourself down more than hitting walls. Lets just say I wasn't very relaxed so my first day of training wasn't great but today was better by the 3rd run at least.

Its about 40 degrees today, but I don't know what it is about Calgary it always feels like it is about negative something outside. The cold goes right through you here. It should be in the 30's next week which is good for sliding except we have next week off from sliding because it is Luge World Cup.

We are going to the ice house later on today. It has an indoor push track, so we are going to use extra pushing as a workout. All next week we are pushing instead of sliding. Its a cool place, I'll take some pictures and put them on the website later on today.

Have a great day everyone!
