Day 8 of Competition

We are at Day 8 and the end is near.  I am not sure if I'm glad to see it coming or if I just want this ride to keep on going.

We had an exciting day of racing at the ROO.  Christina Grove won the Silver in the Ladies 1500M.  It was a incredible sight to see.  The Canadian fans went absolutely NUTTTS.  Grover was in first until the last 100M, then you could see her start to tire.  It was exciting to watch.

Of course all the officials and SSC people trucked on down to SSC House and celebrated again.

It seems the only celebrating we have to do centres around Speed Skating.  We watched the Men loose at hockey, the women at loose a curling, and the Men fall at the ski cross. Not a great day for our medal hopes.

We have the Men's 10K tomorrow, unfortunately we don't have anyone that's a medal hope.  The Ladies 5K is Wednesday and we have a couple who could win medals.  The Men and Ladies pursuits are on Friday and Saturday.  If we get to the final we should have a chance at medals in both.

Today, Monday, is a day off.  I am going to sit with my feet up and do nothing.  Pretty much like when I am at home.

I know that the decompression from this level of activity is going to take a while,  but is it ever exciting.
