Tour De France

Our time in La Plagne was fantastic. The people were great, food was unbelievable and we were staying litteraly 40 meters from the track. Aside from the sliding, the day off was one hell of an adventure. In a nut shell the 3 of us who decided to go saw 3 Olympic cities, the most famous stage of the Tour De France, stormed a castle at 10 pm in Briancon, hit 2 countries and did a total of 15,000 meters / 45,000 feet of climbing in our vehicle over mountain passes. Too much to really get into details, but a long day all around.

It is now race week here in Konigssee, and we got our new race suits. Not bad, but I will not be racing, we were only alowed to enter 4 men and I was the 5th, but I am the forerunner which means I still get to do all my sliding and the first run of each run of the race. Tommarrow is another day of training runs and then Sunday we race. Monday it is another 10-12 hours back to Cesana for our last race and then a mad rush to Frankfurt for our flight...... The flight. I am still waiting to hear word on when we are actually heading home, for that has been tossed in the air as of late. May be the 18th or anywhere to the 21st. To many variables to accurately predict, at least it isnt 5 days notice to get 7 weeks off work.
