Gearing up for FISU

We leave for China in less than a week! I am so excited to get there and experience a multi-sport event at such a high level. I was invited to be a guest on the FAN590 radio show last weekend to talk about participating in the games. I'd like to thank David Grossman and Cecilia Carter-Smith for making the experience most enjoyable! Click here to listen to the podcast.

Opening ceremonies for FISU take place on August 12th, and our first day of competition is on the 14th. The beach volleyball tournament is organized in a pool play format. There will be 8 pools, each with 4 teams. As Canada 1, we are pooled with the Czech Republic, Ukraine and China 2.

Caleigh and I will train hard this week in preparation for the games, and for Provincials, which are happening on the weekend. We'll play the two day tournament (Saturday & Sunday) before leaving for China the following Monday morning! This is going to be one busy week.
