My day.
Up at 7am after 4 hours of sleep
7:40 bus to Main Press Center.
Walk to swimming early to hold position.
Wait.
10:13 Shoot local girl winning gold medal in 200m breaststroke. Transmit everything on deadline (which still seems strange at 10:30AM)
11:45 run across street to catch the end of gymnastics where US wins gold and silver
Wonder how on earth this girl is that flexible.
2pm Eat lunch
3pm shoot a video
3:50 Get on bus to track cycling
Edit video on the bus
Shoot cycling for about an hour, then catch bus back so I can get to track and field to shoot US shot putters that were supposed to sweep the medals.
They gagged. Only a silver for the US. And not this guy above, who didn’t even get a throw in the playing field. But, he did rip his warmups off before every throw, so that has to count for something…
12:45am go to MPC, grab first food in 9 hours.
12:50, note to self. don’t eat the pizza in China.
Catch 1:20am bus to hotel
Write this blog on blackberry while on the bus.
Be glad I didn’t trip over the hurdle and land in the water pit.
Tomorrow, more swimming, more track, less sleep.
Nice work Bubba. Keep it going. I don’t envy you.
