Strutting our sporty stuff

We got our uniforms!!! I'm in love with them. Expect many more flicks of uniform sporting.

Training proceeded well today. We met the paid staffers and cycling experts Amy and Ernst who we'll work with. They will help us FQRs think of questions to ask cyclists in the mixed zone and will answer any general questions we have about the events. We spent an hour or so searching athlete biographies and historical information about cycling on the online database INFO 2008. We tasted the box lunches that we will eat for lunch at the Veladrome every day. They seemed like a Chinese-food version of Lunchables. At least we receive a soft drink and three bottles of water to wash them down.

Since leaving the Veladrome at 3 p.m., we Purdue students have swapped stories, eaten dumplings and dessert in the cafeteria and shopped at the campus supermarket--a pretty normal laidback day.
