We get off the bus, go through security, and we skip off to the event on the beautiful, scenic.. REALLLLY LONG.. path. After getting to the venue we battled our way with the Sweeds to stake our spot along the course. It was amazing being an arms-length away from all the athletes as they muscled their way to the finish. Walking to the concession line as an adventure of its own, drunken men waving their flags boasting their nation's colors and a Norwegian Viking with a T-Rex femur bone attached to his hip. The friendliness of all the people was a pleasant surprise. Even though the Norwegians and Americans didn't take home any medals it was still so fun watching all the other countries do so well. The uncertainty of who was going to win kept us on the tip of our sorrels! After dehydrating ourselves to avoid the porta-potties and bus bathrooms we made it home with a warm welcome from the oh so kind cat-Abby.
