Well with the first half of the professional season out of the way I decided to head back to the states for 65hrs to regroup before beginning my Journey to Beijing and hence my 2nd Olympic experience. I landed at 2pm Sunday rushed home to shower quickly before my guest started to arrive. My mom spent the day between the kitchen and the grill preparing for a coming home/going away BBQ for my inner circle of supporters and friends so I could say goodbye to everyone at once instead of various quick meetings over the period over the short time that I was home. By 430 I was in a pool full of kids surrounded by all my favorite adults and of course my dog and it was all worth the trip no matter how short. It was a much break before heading over. Over the next two days I got in two solid practices on the track that I am most comfortable, got my hair done, a manicure and pedicure and reloaded on food and clothes. I also enjoyed the luxury of using my cell phone freely to chat with everyone who isn’t nearby before I head out. So today Wednesday July 30, 2008 at 7:45 my journey began. As I write I am on a plane to San Francisco for team processing in San Jose, tomorrow I will head 2 Beijing!!! I will keep you posted!!!
