Monday Feb 22nd

I had a great day off. I went down to Kitsilamo beach (not sure if I spelled that correctly)... I walked along the beach. A real beach. With sand and waves and birds and stones and shells. I spent several hours just enjoying the beach and all it had to offer. There were many ocean liners in the area. I love the big ships. It was warm enough that once again I spent most of the day just wearing a T-shirt. I could really get used to this weather.

After the beach I got on a bus and just went for a ride. I ended up somewhere near downtown. Koen happened by and saved me from walking in the wrong direction. I ended up back at pacific center where I walked around for a while and ate some really good sushi. I then headed back to the hotel.

Tomorrow will be a long day. Concessions open at 9 am and stay open until after 1 pm. It is the longest race, I think the 10,000 m. We should be rather busy. It will make the day go by fast but it will be a lot of work keeping the coolers filled and ensuring that each and every customer gets a perfect serving of Coca-Cola products.
