Could this be the end of the double luge dream?

The uniforms have been stolen, the boots are hideous, it’s too nice outside to train, the krazy Karpet was forgotten in the trunk, the training facility is yet to be built…. Is it some sort of omen, that the 2 person luge should not be?
Who knew the trials and tribulations the team would be forced to face would be so trialed and tribulated?

“Its gut check time” Craig told an insider today around mouthfuls of triple Big Mac, at a team training luncheon. He then hurt his finger when he dove head first into the garbage can to get the half eaten McChicken the guy beside him threw in the garbage. There goes weeks of potential, but highly unlikely training time….will the curse ever end?

“We can’t disappoint our fan, someone could be counting on us.” Sassy was overheard telling Craigger as she was trying to pull him out of the garbage can, finally leaving him there, legs sticking straight in the air, to go find help.

This past weekend was spent doing some team building, motivating and training. Team Sasser/Craigger sat in lawn chairs facing the sun, drinking beer and eating chips with members of the coaching staff. Perfect! And once the Sun went down they shared red meat, more beer and chips.

The optimism and strength the team brought back with them from the weekend was palpable…
“I have a headache,” swore Craigger. “Damn those hunters….”. Sasser was focused, serene and possessing an outer calm…it was later discovered she’s painted eye’s on her eyelids with magic marker…and was in actual fact sleep-walking.

That training retreat was a real motivator to these two fearless competitors. These lugers wont give up on the dream…no matter what they have to go through…cause there’s a saying…if you’re coming on…c’mon!
And that’s a motto to live by!

Sneak peak... Althought it's not official, an unnamed source has provided us with this picture of what may or may not be the cornerstone of the team's 2010 double luge outfit.
