Today it rained a lot!
Our team didn’t make the venture out to the course due to health and safety preservation. The team stayed local to do a short recovery workout between rain showers.
This gave me a chance to walk around the Olympic green. I was able to check out the venues for swimming (Water Cube) and track and field (Birds Nest). Truly incredible venues. I also had the chance to experience Beijing rush hour traffic via taxi.
I made a tourist pilgrimage to Silk Street to barter for the customary silk and pearls. My family won’t let me come back from China without them (ha-ha).
Check out www.usparalympic.org to look at our results. The momentum in bicycling is starting swing well for us. We hear that tomorrow will be a better weather day.
We will see.
