Yes, it's true and i can prove it! I have an official badge and everything. It allows me to accompany the team in all areas. So, I did official support things like fetching water and holding items for the people who are racing.
While it is hot today, there is a good breeze and it is pleasant in the shade. I joined the team for their warm up, except for the jogging part, which I would never volunteer for. During the race itself I sat in a lovely covered spectator stand at the finish line, right behind the coach for the Power Surge team and some other Wasabi people, which was great for me to get a clue about what actually happened during the race.
Opening ceremonies were held this evening. They consisted of introduction of the officials, a lion dance, and then a street party. Ostensibly, participants got one free beer from the beer sponsor but later they came thru with more free coupons, and food was provided too. Did the electric slide for the first time in maybe 5 years. The party ended at 9 pm, which is a blessing too. Gives us time to send you the news!
Tomorrow we are going to see the big Buddha on an outlying island. Hopefully, I will have a chance to write about this morning and tai chi soon.
