Winter Games Day 6 (Wed 12Th)

[joggerjayne]

This is it, guys.

Tomorrow morning, the start of Day 6 ...

You HAVE to be in front of a telly screen of some sort at 7.00am

It's the Women's Downhill.

Get up, make coffee, get the telly on, and don't forget to wear your Chemmy scarf, and your Chemmy tee shirt, and your Chemmy hat, and be waving your Chemmy flag.

It feels like the end of a long, long wait. Well, four years!

It's the greatest event, in the greatest sporting spectacle on the planet. It's the Winter Olympics, and it's the Women's Downhill. And ... it's Chemmy Alcott.

Oh, crap. What if my alarm clock breaks down in the night? Aaaaaagh! How am I supposed to sleep tonight.

Okay, here we go, guys. I'll see you on the other side, with plenty of coffee, and toast, ready to watch the Women's Downhill.

[joggerjayne]

Oh, great.

Chemmy is skiing 35th.

She will be skiing through soft slush.

[joggerjayne]

Those slopes are kind of steep.

[murraymints]

35 ? Mmmmmmm... not where she'd like to be !

[joggerjayne]

OMG, look at that.

Blue sky, fresh snow ...

I ... wanna ... go ... skiing ...

[murraymints]

You're just back wummin !

[joggerjayne]

That sun will make the snow on the lower bit of the course softer as the morning goes on, so the course will get slower and slower.

By the time Chemmy goes ...
