Let the pics speak for themselves....I apologize that I didn't take more it was an extremely busy day with lots of responsibilities...
One highlight was getting at least an hour of one on one with Olympian Catharine Pendral. F.Y.I. She takes her coffee:
"Americano with Milk" said Catharine PendralAs her and I chatted and watched the Men's Elite take to the course....and there is a funny story in there as well....might share it later ;)
