Wow the Olympic Journey begins. Bags are packed, well mostly anyway, few final touches to be made. Have spent the last few weeks in Sydney surfing and working, has been fun but the serious training begins; something I'm looking forward too. Flight leaves Sydney at 7am Tomorrow, unfortunatly I have to do the long trip via Melbourne then to LA and last destination Denver, followed by a two hour shuttle ride to Silverthorne. Will be another 24 hour plus journey, but something I'm all too used to. Surf today and shredding snow in two days time, can't wait.
