Wednesday Feb 24

Good evening!

Yesterday was a long day as I had thought it would be. It turns out that the "winner" of the race was disqualified for an improper lane change or something. I just know that the folks in Orange were not very happy.

My boss gave me a ticket to Short Track Speed Skating tonight. It was great. I got to see Ohno win his heat. I also got to witness Canada winning the Silver in the 3000 relay and the USA bring home the bronze. It was a hike to get to and from the venue. The walk from the bus station into the venue was over 1 Km. I ended up walking over 14 Km today.

While I was downtown for the speed skating I had the chance to trade more pins! Yeah! I also checked out the Olympic flame. Very cool. Words really cannot describe what it is like to see this huge structure with 5 flames and the meaning behind it.

Tomorrow is a day off from competition at the ROO. However, it does not mean a day off for our team. We are meeting at the normal time of 6:30. I will try and get some pictures of the flame and the short track races posted tomorrow.

Cheers.
