This is the second part of our correspondence with Coach and Skating Director Lyndon Johnston as he chronicles the experiences of the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver:

2/11/2010 (via email)

All is going well. The main rink is interesting because it is also the main rink for short track, so they have thick pads that are around the rink and then they flip them over for the short track.
Practices have been going well. The kids have been working very well with their new surroundings.

The constant rain, or at least drizzle, has put little damper on the excitement here. I am sure that the area is beautiful, but if I had to put up with all the rain I would be very depressed.

The draw for the kids is tomorrow morning and then we will be able to let you know in what order they skate after that.

Have not had much chance to see other venues but have been seeing a lot of the other athletes.

Talk to you soon.

Lyndon
