Hey Friends!
Last time I wrote it was pre-opening ceremonies. Now it is post opening ceremonies and competition is under way!
I must say that when you are standing in front of the world, they announce team USA, and 50,000 people roar in excitement, it is a heart pounding experience. But so is the racing! People keep asking me what my favorite moment is so far in these olympics and I don't think I can choose just one. I'm trying to take in the entire experience as slowly as I can and be thankful for every moment.
Opening Ceremonies was an absolute blast! I was able to get right up in front behind the flag. I even got my picture in the post card that they printed the next day. Trevor and I had to take the early bus back to the village because we races the next two days. I was pretty bummed but we got to go on the roof of the condo and watch the rest of the ceremonies and view the fireworks. That was a pretty special moment. I was so proud of him and so glad I could witness his struggle to accomplishment. He had the same feeling for me :)
Then the racing came. I thought I'd be pretty nervous but I was so excited to see my family in the crowd I forgot to be nervous. It was not my best race ever but I enjoyed every minute on the ice. I skated my best and that's all I can ask. I think I didn't want to get too tied up in nerves for my first one so I just tried to stay relaxed and enjoy it. Also, I got a good feel for competing under that kind of pressure. Now, I hope to be a little more aggressive in the next 3 races. Definitely more my style!
My family got to come into the village as well. It was cool playing tour guide and share my Village experience with them. They also seem to like the P&G house. Free food, massages, cool picures, free event tickets, manicures, hair stylists...they are there to serve the family.
I'm also hitting up the Oakley house, Nike house, and Vanity Fair to have my picture taken. That's coming up tomorrow while I still have some time before my next race on Sunday. Until then, Chao!!!

Village Update
Hey everyone!
I'm finally starting to settle into the Olympic village and get into a routine. I'm also getting most of my picture taking out of the way so I can start to get focused on racing. Just seven more days until my first race of this Olympics.
So far the village has been first class all the way and security is to the max. We get to stay in ritzy condos and the food is really great too. We even have free McDonalds 24/7. We also have gaming in our USA house and in the athlete Olympic lounge. The lounge is pretty slick. It's were all the athletes get to hang, play with all sorts of gaming like wii and rock band, play pool and pinball, read, play boardgames, watch TV on a huge screen...its awesome. Today Trevor and I were in there shooting pool and watching the superbowl in between practices.
So for the next few days its pretty much the same routine. Sleep, eat, practice, rockband, nap, pictures. The real fun begins at opening ceremonies and even more fun continues when my crazy family arrives!

Arrived at the Olympics!
Hey everyone! The trip so far has been hectic but amazing! Some of the highlights were getting fitted by Ralph Lauren and Nike for our Team USA gear and arriving to the Village. Last night I got to walk around by the water and see the city all lighted up for the first time. I am so thankful to be here and it has been such an amazing journey. Mom and dad would be very proud.
I also got to skate at the Oval the second day I was here. It had totally changed from the summer. With all the lights, t.v. screens, and Olympic colors and banners it looked spectacular!
I can't wait for my family to get here and be part of this action. I keep updating Lisa, my sister, but no words can discribe the scenery or the feel. They just have to be here!!!
I'm off to practice but I'll fill you all in on more later today.

World Qualifier in Calgary
My trip to Calgary was both stressful and successful. Only stressful due to the fact that I had to fly from Milwaukee to Dallas to Calgary...Not fun when it feels like a trip to europe. However, I did get plenty of sleep and I was with my Trevor.
The qualifier is a regional competition betweeen Canada, Austrailia, New Zealand and the U.S.A. The top 6 placements of a combined total points from 4 races-500m, 1500m, 3k and 5k head off to the World Allaround Championships. In Holland, it is THE race to win. I'm glad to say that I met my goal of breaking up the podium (usually consisting of all Canadians) and took a solid 3rd place.
I'm very happy with the racing since I just came off of a dreadful 2 weeks of training and it is the first full competition since my mom passed. I must say I was worried about performing under such stressful circumstances with all that has happened in the last month. In my eyes, I passed the test.
Trevor qualified as well with a hard earned 1st place! It came down to the last race, the 10k, having to beat his pair. I think he just likes to keep me on my toes and hear me scream over the pads...
For now, I look ahead to the Olympics and even further ahead to skate at the end of March for the World Allarounds. While I was competing over the weekend I kept wondering "why I should be so thrilled to endure another 3 weeks after the biggest race of my life, the Olympics"? Crazy. I'll be lucky if I remember to turn left.

Media Mania over Roller Groovin'
Just two weeks before our departure to the Olympics! I thought the calls and interviews might be winding down but they are only gearing up. Since October trials my life changed in a big way and definitely picked up the pace. I had no idea that my "normal" life at the roller skating rinks would be such a hit. NBC and ABC are both going to do a special feature with me roller skating and working in my little DJ booth. I've also heard they will probably put that footage on during the Olympics nationwide. I guess the crazy juggling act of train, work, train,work is going to pay off in the end. Thank God! Putting away smelly skates and scraping pizza off the ground got to be a little tiring before practice. However, I wouldn't change a thing. It is as God has planned and it makes one heck of a fun story!
