After 3 back to back race days last week I accidentally got down to my race weight* from my track and field days so . . coach and I decided to have a little fun at training just becuase 😊 Haven't used starting blocks in 5 years! @athleticscanada whatcha think? 🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️ . . • • • . *race weight: differnet sports have different "ideal" competitive weights based on the physics and mechanics of the sport. In sprinting, it is advantageous to be explosive and smaller. (Think back to physics class, acceleration = force / mass ; you can either increase acceleration by increasing force or by decreasing mass.) However in bobsleigh, since we are required to move a large mass (170kg minimum) and total weight moving down the hill is our friend (momentum = mass x velocity) it is to our advantage to weigh a little more to help get the sled moving and to get better speeds down the track. That said, we do have weight rules and restrictions : minimum weight for sled, maximum combined weight for sled and crew, and the option to add weight to your sled to get up close to the maximum combined weight allowance. In an ideal world, we push a minimum weight sled (obviously!) and the combined weight of the athletes gets us to maximum combined weight. Trick is you also have to be fast at that weight... lucky for me the difference between my "bobsleigh weight" and "track weight" isn't massively different as I was a power based sprinter.

ICC races 5 & 6 tomorrow and saturday here in Park City! 🇺🇸 Let's do this 🤙🇨🇿 @utaholympicpark @ibsfsliding @czechbobsleighandskeleton @lesliestrat @breezor #newtrack #slidingheadfirst #season1819 #ICC #parkcity #utah #usa #mountains

Sometimes you need to pause and take it all in. The various tours visit some of the most beautiful locations around the world. @reinbolt_usa captured this time lapse video from her hotel room in Austria. Not a bad view from the office! #nofilterneeded

You can’t have a million dollar dream with a minimum wage work ethic.... Travel days are the toughest. But still getting some work in is important. I do what I can in hotel or apartment gyms. Improvise. Stay fit! Consistency is key. #workforit #noregrets #noexcuses #whatmovesme #heretocreate

Teamwork makes the dream work ☄ . • • • It may be a cliche saying but it's true - We can achieve much more together than we could do on our own. . It has been an immense pleasure working with these ladies this season. We have learnt from each other and been one another's teacher. We have celebrated each other and been one another's cheerleader. We have shared smiles, tears, equipment, food, strength, knowledge and many, many moments. We continually challenge and support each other. This is teamwork. This is living the dream. . "You need to associate with people that inspire you, people that challenge you to rise higher, people that make you better. Don’t waste your valuable time with people that are not adding to your growth. Your destiny is too important.” [Joel Osteen]
