Countdown...10 Days

Here is a picture of the official clock in Beijing. I am not there yet, nor did I take this photo. Our women's team and lightweight teams have arrived in Beijing along with our physio and massage therapist. Our physio took this photo.We now have 3.5 days left here in Japan before we head into Beijing. Last night we had Marnie McBean and an RCMP Officer go over all the security briefings with us so that we wouldn't have to do it once we got there. He did mention that they the RCMP feels the security is competent. The Chinese do not want any problems and have about 500,000 people associated with security for the games!! To put this into perspective, the 2010 Games in Vancouver will have about 3500 people. WOW!! They may be overdoing it a bit, but I'd much rather over than under.

Anyway....I will try and post some pictures of the Japan camp later today.
