Coolrunnings

Today I got to go down the track in a Bobsled! With a professional pilot at the helm, we got up to 125 km/hour, and completed 2/3 of the full Olympic track. It felt much like a roller coaster! I had freaky flashbacks of Coolrunnings .. !! You get knocked around quite a lot in the sled, so it's key to concentrate on keeping your back straight (although gravity defies this with up to 5 G's on the final corner) and your neck stiff.
