First event!!!

So yesterday I went to my first Olympic event and I was soooo excited. I won my tickets for being so excited about the olympics at work in whistler so free tickets were even better.
So off Charlie (my lover) and I go to watch the skeleton event!!

We have been told that the line ups are crazy and it's taken people hours to get into the events, but with a bit of a line we got up the mountain greeted my Canadian cheer staff through securty and to the venue in less then an hour. Amazing!!


Once we got inside the venue we were so impressed with everything they have done to Olympicize the place, I really felt like I was experiencing the full olympics! It was awesome to see Vancouver 2010 all over everything and all the people dressed in canadian gear!
We had seats but got super cold fast so decided to walk around. This turned our event into a more tangabul experience, we could get so close the track. These athleats are going 145 miles an hour down 1.5km track in 45 seconds!!!! FAST!!!! And when you are standing by the track you can hear them coming and If your not carefull you will miss them! We walked all the way to the start and being so close was Awesome!!!



We could not think of a better event! We walked the full track drinking beer and wine watching these amazing athleats up close Zoom down the track.
What I learned about this event that's it's about having a good start, staying relaxed while zooming down and stearing only with a slight movement of your shoulders. Nuts!!!
I've got two more events to go to and I'm super excited, but last night was the best!!!
