Men's Downhill Training starts at Whistler
Finally, after all of the preparation and hard work, today we had our first Men's Downhill training run at Whistler. A 6am start for our crew had us arriving at Creekside in the early morning darkness with hundreds of course workers, volunteers, athletes, coaches and media. Excitement was in the air.

Soon afterwards Jan was flying by where we were just standing. The cheers from the workers and spectators lining the course when the Canadians came by was awesome but just a hint of what is to come on race day!! I can't wait.
Tomorrow we have both Men's and Women's training runs scheduled and we are up even earlier It is going to be a huge day and the first full real-time test of all of our systems. I'll be posting in a couple of days with more news. Cheers from Whistler!
