It’s sunshine and bluebird skies here in Kitzbuehel and Hahnenkamm training run #1 is officially in the books.

I’m really happy with my run even though I didn’t burn up the track. I actually pushed the hardest I’ve ever pushed on this track before – there’s no lollygagging on The Streif!

I think my coaches will be pretty happy too as the plan was to go fast in a few sections I haven’t gone so fast in before.The experiment didn’t work today because I made a few mistakes in those sections – if it had gone right I think I would have been about two seconds faster.

Training run #2 goes a little earlier than planned tomorrow so it’ll be early to bed and some quick breakie in the morning and I’ll back to the drawing board. Maybe the mistakes I made today will help me go faster Thursday.
