Amy's balcony full of snow - still 24 hrs of snow fall after this pic was taken!

8th place! This is as well as I could have done today! I had two good runs with minimum mistakes, maybe I could have pushed a bit better on the first run, or controlled corner 9 better in the second, but if I think like that I’m getting into the world of if’s and but’s! I can accept the result and look forward to next weeks race in Cesana – a track I have done well on previously and on which I have aspirations for a top 6 finish!
Shelley Rudman deserves a mention for winning the girls race yesterday – the first British gold medal of the season, and the national anthem booming over the Tyrolean Alps! Bravo!
Also worth a mention is the huge amount of snow the region has had! It’s been fantastic for the scenery, and my gumption (great word!) This week, however, has also seen massive flooding in Italy and snow in New Orleans and Houston! The Worlds climate continues to change!

World Cup 2 Altenberg 2008

13th! Hold on, hold on! It's actually not a bad result, and here's why: I was 17th on this track at last seasons World Champs (some tracks suit some better than others!) and I've had a performance hangover from my bad result last week but I finished just one place behind Kristan who was World Champ on this track last year....
There are peaks and troughs to performance, sometimes you have it (when you are in tune with your equipment, you're physically in peak condition and you're wired into the track!) and sometimes you don't! I feel I'm beginning to climb up again and am optimistic for the next two races!
Updated links on the right include the results page of the FIBT site, which has live results if you can't manage to get to a TV! And also to my website which is being updated...the stickman is from my site!
