Well, we have all arrived. Today we had our first practice. We were met at the hotel in a deluxe motorcoach and driven to the site in cool comfort.
The site is not quite what most of us expected. The tents are set on gravel, the only break from the unrelenting sun is the tent over our head. However, there is a breeze that when combined with body sweat seems to act as your own personal swamp cooler, providing some relief.
On the water with us today, were teams from Russia, Indonesia, Australia, Germany and our neighbors, the Canadians.
Racing starts tomorrow with the 2000 meter. That should be interesting. Opening ceremonies are also tomorrow night. It is being held about a 20 minute walk from here. We will be regaling the crowds in our new Wasabi green jerseys.
