My Olympic Moment


Yesterday was the big day. My time to shine. At approximately 10:37 AM MST I would carrying the Olympic Flame for 300m. Two blocks. 15th St to 13th St NW - along 20th Ave NW.

The whole event took about 3 hours from registering at a gathering point to being returned there by a shuttle bus after everyone in my group had completed their leg of the relay...

I was super-excited but a bit nervous about tripping or doing something else embarrassing... It all went off without a hitch. I wasn't able to get any photos myself during the day, but here are a few I've gotten so far...

It Arrived!!!


Check it:

I'll get a better picture next week so you can see the whole outfit + torch (and I don't have to balance the camera on my TV to take the picture). It's pretty awesome, I'm not gonna lie.

And I now have the awesome red mitts except maple leaf on the palm is a grip so I don't drop the torch!!
