While picking up my Edge card, the nice girl from Montreal gave me a lead on where I could park, but as it was noon I didn't waste a day on my lift pass.
In an attempt to make the most of my drive up there, I thought I'd drop in at the acreditation center, to see if I could get my uniform and ID two days ahead of schedule.
The outdoor uniform is pretty cool, but for the time being I look like all the other plebe volunteers. Thursday when I get my medical arm band, I will officially be a badass. If I can get to a real computer, I'll see if I can't link to a pic of the uni. Edit: I'll look like this guy, only whiter, and less handsome.
Whistler is on serious lockdown. Lots of media setting up, so I may have done a walk-by on a few foreign TV cameras. I saw a few Russian athletes, but was none too impressed. The Whistler Medal Plaza is going to be bumpin', and I'm looking forward to my two shifts there.
Hoping to hook up with Ottawa-Matt tomorrow for a backcountry tour, and with Ottawa-James on Wednesday for some in-bounds at Whistler. Training Thursday, backcountry at Duffy Lake Friday, and men's downhill on Saturday.
Kara saw a dress-rehersal of the opening ceremonies tonight, and says that aside from the prairies, you guys are in for a good show.
You're Keeping me entertained back at home. Keep em' coming and my delusional mind will think that I am there with you.
