Arrival in Welland

Had a fast ride through New York State to get here.. we laughed, told stories, and tried to contain the excitement as we neared nearer and nearer. When we finally saw the sign heralding our arrival, we screeched to a stop and did the goofy tourist-picture thing. Part 1 of the dream is really here!! As we drove into town to our hotel, we passed the race course... a total goosebump moment. There it was, the best course in Canada, and tomorrow WE would be racing on it. Yeeeeehaaaaa!!!

After a good supper and an early turn in.. we are ready to rock it. Tomorrow just became today :) Just got up, heading to breakfast and a practice. First races are this afternoon - the 500m and the 2000m. WHOOOOP!!
