We had to stay home with the girl so we didn't hit the road until 12:30. It was fun staying home to watch Julia and Lindsay come in second and third in the downhill world cup. No one would know that though. If you looked at the sports page of any publication they never report it. Our BEST female athletes competing in the MOST dangerous sport known to mankind aren't' even acknowledged. Lindsay Vonn is the best skier in the world but does anybody say boo to that? It's disgusting. Both Lindsay and Julia were gold and silver medalists in the last Olympics. Not a word in the press that these unbelievable athletes are the best in the world. How about Bodi? He came in second today on the most treacherous downhill course ever developed. He's an old man now at 32. Is there in mention of him? Our five time medalist in the Olympics. What the hell is that all about??? Get your heads out of your asses is what I say@@!
Today was great, even with the heavy burden of knowing that our greatest do not get the respect they deserve and that's not even speaking about my fellow Marines, just our Olympians. I had to ski tele today because the bruise on my shin was so big I couldn't put my alpine boot on. I didn't do too well. But on just one run I broke free of my tele chains and acted like I was on alpines...skiing free thru the powder. It was magical. It's hard to explain but imagine a perfect day, a perfect moment then you will understand. Kim insisted that we go to the Mountain Dew Challenge. Can you imagine? It sounds awful right? It was great!!! They went flying over my head. It was unbelievable. The band was great. They played Led! I always have to listen to Kim. She's the best.
It's going to be well below zero tomorrow, until then, Sarah.
