A Day at the Push Track

A lot of people ask what we do during the summer to train as bobsledders. Apart from the required video game playing (it's for hand-eye coordination...cough cough) and the standard trips to high school tracks for sprints and drills, plus the gym for weight training, we also have a push-track set up in Park City. The push track is basically a bobsled on wheels that runs down a small hill on rails.

Here's an example of us doing some push training from last week. It was a warm-up run so it wasn't our full-speed, but it does give you an idea of what we do.

That's me up front on the left, Brad right behind me, Don on the right, and Lane on the brakes.

Enjoy!
