Title:
Day 18 - Olympic Training Center - Colorado Springs

Description:
We took some time to do some web updates in the morning and then we packed up Kodi and drove a few miles north of the RV park to meet Kamrin's former DeVos classmate Jess Siegele at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. Jess is currently interning with the Paralympics and blind athletes. She had been busy recently coordinating an international blind athletes multi-diciplinary competition including sports like judo, swimming, wrestling and an adaptation of dodge ball and soccer where the balls have bells in them. The Training facilities were so nice. Everything was world class and it left little doubt in my mind that the coaching was equally impressive. I would love live on the center's campus and be around such amazing athletes and utilize the facility in my own triathlon training. Granted I pale in comparison to the level of athleticism of even the least Olympian but the camaraderie and synergy I could feel in the center would be a powerful motivator. I did get a chance to do little training check out the video.
