First thing tomorrow morning we leave for Beijing. Chuncheon has been a great place to train and acclimatize but it's time to get to the village! Plus, the Korean coverage of the Olympics is hit and miss, depending on if there is a Korean in the event! Luckily, they have a few good swimmers and they like to show Phelps swim, so we have seen most of the swimming. I gave it a try but really, 10m air rifle shooting is not very exciting on TV! I missed the women's 4x100m relay, as we were out riding some tough hills in the heat, the girls won the Netherlands first gold of the games!! Off to a good start!After a few 'off' days of training--Coach & Richard said not to worry, but after back to back lackluster workouts, I was slightly concerned--I managed to have a really strong day today! Phew--as usual, P&R were right!
Here is my race kit. Lucky #39 is my race number (determined by random draw):
Now I have to pack my gear up, already have the bike done--that's the worst part!Beijing here I come!
6 more days.

Hi Lisa,
Congratulations to you big time. You're a champ in my eyes. Give it all you've got, or I'll throw you off the sleigh at Ina's next sleigh ride. (you probably don't remember that) I DO remember your tenacity - TOUGH MIND!! And at your elite level, the game is played between the ears. GIVE 'ER!!
Go hard Girl, we'll all be cheering you on. JUST DO IT!!!
