Well after a little break I am back in the modern world. La Plagne was absolutely great. The track was crammed in a valley at the top of a mountain and it had high speeds and multiply massive G corners. No crashes, in fact did quite well. The last day, however, caught up to me and in typical me style I kind of pushed too hard (overtrained) and the constant pounding resulted in a concusion (aparently). So on a "day off", we went to see some sights and take in as much as possible.
La Plagne was the track used in the ’92 Albertville Olympics, and since then really has not been used all that much. It was a welcomed break going to France, it almost felt like being back home, and even though my French really sucks, I can still understand key points and get the basics of conversations, so it was quite a bit of fun.
The Top picture is not of La Plagne, but rather of Konigssee taken from The Eagals Nest. At the top of the track you can make out a more distinct white ’’S’’ section and those are called the s-curves.A real fun and crutial part of the track. Make your way down and about half way you can notice a circle, or Kriesel. A difficult part and the site of my little ’’collisions’’. The bottom picture is of La Plagne, or the bottom half at least. On the right side there are the corners 15 and 16. 15 is the high G corner and 16 is its follow-up. Both great tracks and a lot of fun.
