When I have done that, much like your experience, I find I really surprise myself...I am either a lot better than I thought or I just have a blast. World Cup biathlon was on TV this weekend as well....totally engrossing sport to watch. There is an American that is doing really well...leading World Cup standings...can't recall his name but he lives in Germany and is engaged to a German gal so go figure!JenRunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11244584152953980339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34544002.post-16690053782825639492010-01-25T21:22:01.411-05:002010-01-25T21:22:01.411-05:00Beyond cool!!

That's what life is all about!<br /><br />Jan - I've been studying the videos on YouTube and have seen what you described! Huge crowds, and they really get into it. Can't wait for the Olympics also! Gut feeling says Germany will take the gold. :-)<br /><br />Val - That was hard, but if one thing went right in the race is that I felt I had pretty good control over that. But maybe I just got lucky. :-)Jamie Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09819417283043630893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34544002.post-13270981079614646872010-01-25T17:08:55.786-05:002010-01-25T17:08:55.786-05:00Great job, Jamie!

The best atheletes from Norway, Germany, Austria, Sweden, France and Russia are like Rock-Stars over here. The biggest WC events have more than 100.000 spectators live at the tracks and millions of fans following on TV. Can't wait for the Olympics :-)<br /><br />Continue with cool blogs like that - regards from Finland, JanneJan Muellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237420965586559483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34544002.post-10768290471187884652010-01-24T20:49:07.845-05:002010-01-24T20:49:07.845-05:00Awesome!
