The first half of the season is finally finished! I was the only brakeman to do all 5 races of the half – 4 with Kaillie Humphries and 1 with Amanda Stepenko in Cesana.
I am starting the holidays with 3 new push-start records, and a fourth one that we tied, a track record on Altenberg – one of the most challenging tracks, and both a bronze and a gold medal. Yes, it was a very good first half and I appreciate all of the messages of congratulations from home. But there’s still a lot of the season left to go!
There are still three more races for the World Cup circuit, with the Olympic team not being announced until after two of those. So much can still happen between now and then, and that means that I can’t take anything for granted.
I am extremely happy about how things have been going, and excited about ending the first half with a push record, a track record, and a gold medal, but…… I mustn’t get ahead of myself!
