Well, another World Cup circuit is officially finished for another year! Although I was only on tour since Christmas, the time still flew by a lot faster than I was expecting, especially the last two races.
The last two races we were in St. Moritz, Switzerland and Cesana, Italy. Apparently this was the last bobsleigh race to be held in Cesana. The other tracks tend to make money, but the Cesana track has been struggling. So it has recently been sold, will be blown up, and turned into a golf course – a somewhat rare commodity in Europe.
In terms of results, Kaillie and I finished 4th in St. Moritz and 5th in Cesana. We were sitting in 2nd place after the first heat of the Italian race, but then Kaillie over-drove a bit during the second run and we fell to 5th. However, placing 5th was still an achievement considering her steering system had been completely changed the week before, giving it a new sensation and making it challenging to keep consistent. And now that we’re heading into World Championships, we’ve both been hearing from people that we’re peaking at the right time! I hope they’re right!
