So I finally met my roommate at about 11 last night. Name is Ben. He's a thrower from Australia and pretty dank. He started teaching me all of these Aussie expressions, like "to have a bonk." (Remember that Powerbar commercial from the Sydney Games...Don't bonk). Anyways, he's made his B cut and hopes to get his A cut on Friday. Then he'll be "sworded," as he put it. Aka he'll have punched his ticket to Beijing. In another life, I want to come back as a thrower. You get to eat a lot and sleep in. Ben didn't get up until about 11 this morning. Another observation: stuff is cheap here if you carry foreign currency. He's bought sunglasses and a new blackberry.
Training was fine today. Ran past Cassie today (not like I overtook her; we were running opposite directions) and she said "hi." Yeah, it was epic.
Photo of the Day: This pic from the Rhodes BG World Cup won second prize for action photo at the World Press Photo Awards over the weekend. ITU turns out nice pics on a pretty regular basis.
