Olympic Training Center
Today was a really long day, traveling from SFO to Denver and then finally arriving to Colorado Springs and finally to the Olympic Training Center. Immediately at the airport we begin getting the first class olympian treatment with the team USA escort van that takes us to the OTC. Our schedule is so packed that I barely had enough time to grab a bite to eat at the cafeteria before my appointment at team processing.
Team processing beat my already high expectations. I was handed a clipboard and a shopping cart and off I went to processing. When I was done I had numerous t-shirts, sweatshirts, taylored blazers pants, diamond ring, watch, shoes, socks, and hats that filled our team USA suit case. The best shopping experience because it costs the athletes zero dollars. Then it was off to practice immediately where we got even more stuff, suits, caps with the US flag and our names, parkas and even more stuff coming tomorrow. I think that it is easy to say that today was a great day. The Olympic experience is starting to feel real and will continue to feel more real as we count down the days to opening ceremonies and the first day of competition.

Go USA!!!!!!
I cant write about the brand names that I got, but I can say that I did not get the suit that I wanted, but got two other good suits. Some people got the fastest suit, I didnt get one. We might be getting more in japan.
the diamond ring is just something that we get for making the team, says beijing, swimming and looks like a super bowl ring.
Ugly, trade your diamond ring for the suit.
