Back to the Water Cube

After our training in Korea and a day off, we're back in the Olympic Village.

This morning we had a quick practice at Beijing Normal University, had a box lunch in the van, and then had our practice with music time at the Water Cube. It's even more exciting to swim in there now with all the American Olympic Golds that have been won in the same water.

We also have been taking the time to notice and appreciate how cool our Olympic venue is. I think we've been pretty successful in taking in each moment and living these few weeks in slow motion. That was one of the things we talked about before we left home. We don't want to end up at Closing Ceremonies wondering how it went by so fast. So far so good!
We had a great, energetic practice this afternoon. I think we've got a great vibe going on now.

One more practice day until our part of the Olympics starts!
