Made Pentiction
« on: September 01, 2004, 05:42:43 PM »
Came up the Coq. Hwy did not even take 4 hours.

Let the games begin. ;D ;D

 On the way up I noticed the Fraser River was very dirty, from the slide earlier in the week.

Glad you made it up there in one piece, we need that gold. :) Make sure you stretch lots before the games. Again, stretch lots! ;D

Badminton. ;D ;D

Keeps the reflexes sharp for when the float goes down. ;D

You would think you were on the coast as the rain is falling this morning as I look over Okanagan Lake that is in front of the motel.

Maybe should pull out the fly rod as there is no swimmers around but then it is only 8 am. :D

good luck Chris and have loads of fun!


There is a large number of carp in the cannel and I am sure you would be able to intrest one in a fly or two!

Smashing the birdie is also good training for bonking salmon.  Good luck at the games!

Chris, the reason we don't win enough medals is because of the attitude that it is for fun!   NO WAY!  Kill them show those 70 year olds NO MERCY! Spike hard and often and when they go down gloat! You are there for one purpose and that is to win medals!  As Canadians we are far too nice!  For us to be successful in the OLYMPICS we have to change our attitude now!!  Get them Chris and let no man, no matter what age stand in your way!  ( I have even seen some push walkers away!) ;) ;) ;) ;)

One one match in mixed but did not make the medal round but play for the bronze in singles. Missed by one point that would have forced a third game that would have given me a chance for the gold. ::)

Still a chance in mens yet. Weather is still terrible for Penticton.

Will look forward to some jack springs after the games. ;D

What????   How can that be!  Well get the bronze and then maybe get more financial  support and training opportunities from FWR members so that next year you will be better prepared!!!   The gold must be yours next year!    ;) ;) ;) ;)  

Way to go Chris!   Are these games annually??

Here's what you should do Chris:

 - demand urine sample from the gold and silver winners

 - accused the judges of politics

You should have pretended that you pulled a leg muscle or something so they might actually present you a sympathetic award.... "Hardest working player of the games". ;D
