The Road to Vancouver 2010 pt. I

4 years ago, Pete and I decided that we were going to the Winter Olympics together. Me in short track speedskating, he in curling. After 1 competition where I destroyed some 12 year olds and did a back somersault in a relay (that's not supposed to happen), my short track plans have kinda died recently because this little thing called a job has gotten in the way. Pete dream, however, is alive and kicking. After moving here, he's taken the csprings curling circuit by storm and is well on track to be the unanimous rookie of the year selection. I took witness to this budding phenom tonight and thought I'd give the rest of the world a sneak preview of what's to come in 2010. Check it out.

Pete's having some problems seeing his target

Check out that concentration!!

And the smooth release. (On a later attempt, he totally wiped out. It was great.) Oh, and that guy in the background is actually a modern day viking. No joke.

The ice is very dirty.
