It is getting tougher to get out of bed as the week goes on but we are getting closer to the real action so that gets me motivated. Same routine today as yesterday and the day before. Show up early, check in, pick up my lunch, and head over to the course for the chop. The snow was icy again for the top 6 inches but it seemed better than the previous days. Mens practice was cancelled today for some reason so only the women were scheduled to hit the jumps at 2:00.
More broadcast people on the site as well and today they did a dress rehearsal prior to practice. two of the Canadian women showed up to get some jumps in with the cameras rolling. They did the whole thing - announcer, replays on the big screen, and even did a run through of the flower presentation ceremony to get the timing down in advance of the big day.
Women's qualifiers are tomorrow morning so we got the news that we need to be on the course at 5:30 AM instead of the 6:00 AM we were scheduled for. This translates into a pre 3:00 AM wake up to be on the 4:00 AM shuttle bus. Thankfully I get Sunday off so I will get some well needed rest. Since today was my sixth shift I got a Miga mascot as my reward - more loot for Emily's 2010 collection. Off to bed before 9 tonite and hopefully I can find a Tim Hortons on the way to pick up another volunteer over at Coquitlam Center Skytrain.
