We've started and had a rough shoot out loss to the hometown China team. Bounced back strong with a win over Russia tonight. Hungary tomorrow to finish out group play. Should be a good one.
Nothing big to speak of beyond the pool and games. I was able to get a swim in at the competition pool at the water cube. So to be able to share the water with the Olympians of our players and coaches not to mention the same pool that Phelps dominated the world and where the USA men's 4x100 relay inspired a generation, that's pretty cool. Sure makes you want to get back in shape.
Until next time, thumbs up Beijing.
