That's right, two in a row! Last Saturday (after surviving Friday's freezing temperatures) Matt and I participated in the 2008 Utah Pioneer's Cup bobsled race.
And we took first place for the second week in a row! We were pretty excited considering Matt has been extremely sick all week and we were just grateful that he was able to compete, although I could tell that it took a lot out of him. After fighting a fever all week and losing 14 pounds, it tells a lot about the guy's heart if he's willing to get in a sled at 80 MPH after all that.
But it paid off. I have to laugh as we again stuck it right at the low 52-second mark for both runs (52.21 exactly on both) but I know we will break into the 51s before the season is over! This gave us a pretty substantial cushion ahead of the next team, the Jamaicans, who we have a joking bet about who has to buy who dinner if they win!
Its been an exciting couple of weeks, and we look with some sadness as the season is swiftly coming to a close (end of February), unless we can get some training time in Canada which is our goal. We'll keep our fingers crossed!
We just wanted to thank everyone for all their support so far, it has definitely made a difference. Be sure to subscribe to this blog so you can get our updates in your email because we are trying to update it as often as possible!
