A day between races is a day to relax but stay "open"

A ride in the morning with stretching afterwards keeps the legs

from going stale. The idea is to keep the blood flowing through the muscles.

This aids the recovery process. Also it's good to keep a little tension in the

legs so that their primed to fire the following day.



After my nap I joined a couple of teammates and headed to the Water Cube to

watch some swimming. The venue is remarkable. The swimming inside was equally

impressive. Sitting in the athlete section I watched two events showcasing the

best blind breaststrokers in the world. The races were fast with one posting a WR.

Just as the bird's Nest was the Cube was packed with spectators.



Minutes after a quick wrap up meeting after dinner i was conked out.
