So we were in there and I was practicing hitting the sled and running behind it and jumping in and that sort of thing. But when you actually get to the top of the track, it is a very different story. And I guess I was, oh my gosh, I was, I don't want to say naive. I was so ignorant. I didn't know anything really about the sport. except just what I, like my job, I was just learning my job.

And so we got to the top of the track and the very first day. And I remember a few, there are a few things, a few things I remember. So I remember that the media was going to be there at the bottom of the track because it was the first day of racing and it was Olympic season, not racing first day of sliding and the, and it was an Olympic season. So the media was all going to be there at the bottom.

And I remember Just getting into the sled and jumping in the very first day. Of course, the first day the drivers are driving. So we're not running full out anyway. We're just getting jumping in this little bit and going so that the drivers can get a feel of the track. But I remember being told that since we're not going as fast that I could keep my head up and look around if I wanted to.

And so I'm looking up and then we go around the first corner and I was like, oh, gosh, OK, OK, there's another. OK, there are no corners in this indoor facility we used. So we're doing corners and corners. And then all of a sudden we're on the third corner and I'm like, oh my gosh. Okay. We're picking up speed. Okay. I just, okay. Okay. We're not stopping now. Okay. Oh, fourth corner. Okay.

Oh, fourth corner. Okay.

Oh my gosh. Okay. And my hands, you just see starting to white knuckle. They're just getting white knuckles and I'm holding on and you can't look anymore. You're the pressure of going around corners and the G-forces and the weight of your helmet and everything. It's all pushing you down. So it was all of a sudden the third and fourth corner, you're like, there's no turning back. I'm in it.

So it was all of a sudden the third and fourth corner, you're like, there's no turning back. I'm in it.

I'm in this right now. And then when you get to the bottom, I had to rip my helmet off really quickly because I honestly thought I was going to be sick. I was, I almost threw up in my helmet. It was. Not a good scene. But I found out from the doctor that I had an ear infection. And so there was fluid in my ear, which made any kind of bending over, all of a sudden, I would just feel super nauseous.

So of course, in the bobsled, you are bent over the whole time. So as soon as I get out there, of course, ripping off my helmet, ready to throw up, the media, all the cameras right there getting out of the sled. It probably wasn't the smoothest of experiences.
