Travel Day

We're here (not that you didn't know that already). A relaxing but sleepless flight with two stop-overs including a meeting with the Chilean team brought us to Korea.


We flew right over Duluth. The funny thing is that I will be 'flying' to Duluth in my car in a few weeks.


Everyone is excited to be going to Korea.


Flying into Japan.


Go sushi! Mmm, it was good (and bloody expensive).


The beautiful sun setting as we approach Korea.

Once in Korea, we were greeted by a team of translaters and guides. One of my good friends, Kevin Noh was also there. He lived in Toronto last year, in fact, him and I were teammates last year in the 24-hour Montreal inline relay. Kevin is going to be spending time with our team, helping guide us through the journey that is called the 2006 World Roller Speed Skating Championships in Anyang, Korea.

I have no idea what Anyang looks like because we flew by day and arrived by dark. We're going to sleep a good solid 10 hours or so and then head to to the track to pick up our accreditation and watch the USA and Colombian teams practicing.
