A quick run down !

July 26/27 Early the Saturday morning 100 members of Team USA left San Jose and flew out of San Francisco for a 12 hour flight to Beijing. The flight was surprisingly well and we arrived in Beijing feeling only a little tired. We arrived in the Olympic Village at 5pm on Sunday. The village is absolutely amazing. The buildings are all brand new, the landscaping is beautiful and there is every possible thing you could think of here. It is a small city within a city. The dining area has many different foods to choose from including a 24 Hour McDonald's ! July 28 I slept 9 hard hours last night. I woke feeling rested and ready to go. The jet lag was honestly not as bad as I had anticipated. Around 9am my three team mates and I went to the dining hall and had a great breakfast and then caught a bus to travel to the 24 Hour Fitness Olympic Training Facility at Beijing Normal University. My training went better than I even anticipated considering our travels the last two days. We trained at 11am and 3pm with lunch in between at the Team USA dining facility (which was amazing !) at Beijing Normal University followed by a quick 10 minute cold plunge to help recover from the previous workout. My team mates and I traveled back to the Olympic Village for dinner and a few hours of card games.
