I've gone surfing on the beach across the street and we are going to go sailing on Sunday. Since we need to be rested for the next practice we often just hang and watch a movie together or talk instead of doing anything too strenuous. It gets more exciting as it gets closer. On Tuesday we leave the beachside town we are training at to move into the Olympic Village. Then I'll get to experience what all the hype is about.
Training is fun and it is also hard.
You've got to like hard, physical work to enjoy it. If you've got that mindset, then it can be a lot of fun setting goals and achieving them. It's also fun to be training and hanging out with other motivated people. There were going to be 19, but the Chinese pulled out amid rumors of a positive drug test. I would guess that it is roughly about 800.
