Astrid in Park City

 
This picture of Astrid Ebner of Austria was taken during the 1998 / 99 World Cup in Park City, Utah.  I slid well at that race, but my athletic performance was awful.  I had the 22nd best push in the first heat out of 32 sliders.  As a direct result of the poor push, I lost the race by 0.05 seconds to DSS customer Alain Wicki of Switzerland.  I've never been the best athlete out there, but usually I did better than that.  The next week in Calgary, I ranked 10th in the first heat on the push, and I ended up winning the race by almost a half a second.  Oh well.
