I came back from visiting my sister and the Olympic Training Center in Colorado just a few days ago. Tomorrow I am off to Rhode Island to run a fencing clinic at the Rhode Island Fencing Academy and Club. The coach was nice enough to invite me to teach a weekend clinic at his club in exchange for raising some money for my fencing season. There are good people out there.
The visit with my sister was great and I got a chance to realize how beautiful the state of Colorado is-or at least the trails I hiked and the lake I ran around in the morning. It's nice to move the workout from the gym to the outdoors-not to mention the benefit that the altitude adds to training.
There were many great things about the trip to Colorado but one of the highlights would have to be visiting the Olympic Training Center. Even though I'm one of the athletes that use the facility, I am still in awe of being in a place that lives and breathes the Olympics every day. Not to mention it's pretty cool to see and meet the other atthletes living there.
In other news. I am looking forward to going to Beijing next week for the "Goodwill Tour". I leave on Tuesday and I have already done one interview for USA Today for the Tour. The article that I was interviewed for comes out next Thursday while we are in Beijing. My Mom also told me that the tour was mentioned in a Chinese newspaper a few days ago. The article mentioned me and three other athletes that have Chinese backgrounds.
A lot of things to look forward to in the next week. My hope is to keep everyone in the loop even if some of the posts are few and far between.
