So we had the absolute pleasure of meeting Harry at dinner tonight. He plopped himself down while Jeff and I had dinner in the western restaurant. Quite a curious and precocious 19 year old from the area. He was there having dinner and just decided he wanted to make some friends. He has friends from all over he told us, not a shy bone in this kid's body. His English was excellent, much better than my Chinese anyways. Jeff and I exchanged emails and skpe addresses and made Harry promise if he went to California he would go to In-N-Out Burger and not Burger King- a seriously BAD move to choose BK over In-N-Out. So, Harry, if you're reading this... this is a shout out to you. You are one cool 19 year old Chinese guy!
Oh, so if you did not know, the triathlon woman's events occurs here at 10am on Monday the 18th and the men's event is at 10am on Tuesday the 19th. I am told they will be televised prime time in the states on Sunday the 17th and Monday the 18th. Please watch an send some good vibes our way. Our athletes are looking great physically and seem to be calm and collected so... we want some medals!!! I will be helping the NBC broadcasters with indicating who's who for both races.
