We made it!

We made it all the way across the Arctic Ocean to Seoul and then to Beijing, and we are safely in our Beijing hotel room. The weather is hot and very humid. We're jetlagged, and since we get up tomorrow for our first event (swimming: includes the women's 200m fly, men's 200m IM semis, and women's 4x200 free relay), we're headed to bed.

In other news, Elaine Breeden grabbed the last spot in the finals of the 200m butterfly, so we will indeed be seeing her swim tomorrow morning. That will be very exciting! The event will be televised live in the US starting at 10pm (EDT) on NBC.

Just watched Elaine's race! Maybe not the ideal result ... but it was so incredible to see her in the final 8 in the world and the best swimmer from the USA!

By the way, if NBC's little superimposed green line was right, she kept fairly close pace with the former world record for much of the race.
