We arrived in Madison at 9 am via way of Cincinnati. It was a very smooth trip with a little turbulence. We ate Chick-Fil-A for breakfast, and it was very yummy. MMM, chicken and biscuits. We were greeted by Joel, our coach, at the airport, and made our way to the hotel. The Crown Plaza is a very cool hotel with an indoor pool and jacuzzi and a 5 million dollar renovation. We are sharing it with weight-lifters, wrestlers, and junior basketball players; so it should be interesting. We were so happy to see some familiar faces from Club Nationals last year, Mary and Stephanie. Can't believe it has been almost been 1 year since we last saw them!
Practice was at 12:00 pm, and we saw the Madison Curling Club for the first time. It was amazing! There are 6 sheets. All dedicated ice. Big lockers in the locker rooms. For practice, we spent 12 minutes per sheet from sheets 2 - 6 throwing stones of both colors back and forth. We had a good feel for our deliveries, and made fast adjustments. Coach Joel gave me a few things to adjust, and it worked like a charm.
After a quick bite at KFC, we're chilling at the hotel. "The Prince and Me" is on.
5:30 pm is a meeting and reception at the club.
Will keep you updated!

You connected thru CINCINNATI!!!!! I can not believe you didn't tell me. I would have been there with Bond Girl signs! No matter what time! Aunt Vicki
ReplyDeleteI know! Bad Bond Girls.... we had a fun 1 hour and 30 minute stay in Cincinnati eating delcious Chick-fil-a. Wish we were there longer! I would have felt way too bad making you come to the airport to say hi that insanely early. :)
