I packed up my air pistol yesterday in the morning. It shipped out immediately thereafter, but I won’t see it again until Singapore. International logistics – I’m sure glad that somebody is on top of all these details.
I’m headed for the west coast this morning. People will be coming in from the numerous training centers scattered across the country for all the varied sports. This will be the first time that so many of this year’s USA Olympians will be in the same place at the same time, and I’m told that this is when the fun begins. I’m really looking forward to it, it feels like it’s finally starting.
Right now I’m at the Denver airport with the weight lifting team. We left Colorado Springs two hours before sunup this morning. Our flight to California takes off in a few minutes, but I wanted to capture the moment while I had a few seconds to myself.
Everyone we pass has a smile, a nod, a thumbs up or an encouraging comment. It feels like riding a wave of positive energy just walking through the airport. What an honor to represent this country. What an opportunity to see the world this way.
The experience is gaining momentum, but there are occasional quiet moments, and I plan to upload more of my experiences over the days between now and the games. Thank you for your interest. Go Team USA!
