SLC - UF takes 3rd place in NCAA

There were some sad faces in Salt Lake yesterday evening.
Including my own.
I expected the Gator girls to win the National Championship and you could tell they were very much hoping to as well.
There were no tears though and I think the girls remained strong throughout the evening. This can only drive the returning girls to try harder next year.
Georgia won for the third year in a row.

Salt Lake City Day 2

The Gators advanced today to the final six competition which will be held tomorrow.
Salt Lake is still Salt Lake though and the speed limits average around 30 mph.
I had to "join a club" tonight to have a drink.
The people of Utah are very nice and friendly thus far.
Shooting gymnastics is going better than anticipated and tomorrow I hope to focus on doing some close-ups with the 300mm.
Although I lugged it all the way here I haven't yet used it. But tomorrow I will force myself to do so to add some variety to the photos.

Salt Lake City!

Well I made it.
I'm safely tucked into my hotel room and enjoyed some room service dinner after a long day of plane rides leading up to a quick switch over to photo mode as soon as I touched down in Utah.
A 12:30pm landing gave me not much time to make it to the scheduled practice today but I made it just in time to catch a tail end of uneven bars and all of the beam.
1pm Mountain time tomorrow is competition.
That's 3pm back home.
