Well, the easiest way to communicate when you are 13 hours ahead of the east coast is to write.. so I'm blogging. Traveling, well, sucked but oh well we are here now. The weather pretty much sucks, it's Asia so the sun is something I won't see for the next two weeks. Plus we are in the 'rain' season which makes it even better. During our AM training session it drizzled most of the way, not enough to stop us from skating, but enough to be annoying.
The track is not quite what we've had the past few years but it's not terrible.. as of now. The last few worlds we've been completely spoiled by some of the best/fastest tracks the world probably has to offer. With that being said, skating on them is like skating with glue, sliding was the thing of the past along with tearing wheels up. This year we don't have quite the glue feeling, in fact there is some slipping that has gone on and will continue but that's okay. It will still go pretty easy on the wheels which is a good thing. It has a 'wavy' feel to it. Not quite bumpy but a little wavy. It's still way faster then the track we have in Colorado, plus it's not parabolic like Colorado, which means the fastest line is to skate pretty much low the whole time.
Other then that nothing has really happened for us here. We've spent most of our time on a bus it seems like. All of our meals are 15-20 minutes from our hotel, which just opened for business last night.. when we got here.
