Sarah Williams got the formula right, she likes to start the day off with a bowl of muesli before training sessions early in the morning. She’s the only athlete from the UK to win a gold medal in the Olympics so far so we’d like to congratulate her and dedicate this blog to her and her sport: Skeleton. They can reach up to 85 mph on the ice…head first! You’ve gotta be pretty brave to face those 5 g’s on corners with nothing but a helmet between you and rock hard ice! We here at the muesli workshop are pretty content with our hardships here so we don’t think we’ll be pulling any G’s any time soon. Amy (according to her article) wakes up at 7am to a bowl of crunchie muesli. After a morning delight she’s of to the ice track with her team. She walks the track and visualizes every turn, it takes up to an hour and a half on their 1.5 to 2.0 km track. Then she warms up with a small circuit of exercises. Next, screeching at break-neck speeds head first down the ice highway! But, unfortunately that’s not all. She still has to inspect the sled (before big meets that can take hours…), watch the other racers to learn what they do, go over tapes with her ice coach to try to squeeze every tenth of a second out of her run, and work out! Now that’s dedication!! So we’d like to congratulate this Olympian for her medal and we wish the best of luck to everyone at the Olympics. May your muesli win you another gold!
