| DAY ONE(Wednesday)
Well I got here on Wednesday and as usual the plus was hustling.
There were people everywhere, getting checked in, finding rooms,
etc. It was interesting to watch all of the american athletes as
they worked their way around the different languages. It is an eye
opening experience for those athletes, as reality set in that the world
is larger that they thought. I am still amazed by Duffy
Mahoney as I watched him keep everything organized. The
New York accent is still there, but the experience shows through.
Kudos go to other members of the staff, although I still don't know
their names. Among them, Freda (sp?),
Jose Rodriguez (boy, is that a blast from
the past!) and my new found hero, Bob Podkaminer,
a REAL meet guru on a computer. I also cant say enough about the
FLORIDA2012 and Ed Taranchick (the president of
florida 2012). You also may want
to check out the TECO energy site
that has a lot of past history about the Junior Pan Am Games.
Well, there isn't much more to add today, but I will try and do a
better job tomorrow and even throw in some pictures. |
| Day TWO
(Thursday) Well, it was another long
day. We spent the early morning in the office and I took the
opportunity to snap some pictures at the office of the Florida 2012
Olympic Bid. Several of the coaches found out that I am going to
be posting pictures of the athletes on the internet and I was
immediately inundated with requests. I even got a phone call from
a reported In Hawaii (that had called my home in Orlando and talked to
my wife and got my cell number). I guess the world is changing
(Except Duffy, who
spends a small portion of the day complaining about modern
technology). I spent the better part of the day translating for
the spanish speaking people (thanks Bob Hersh
for telling me how to say Hammer in spanish!!). Well I am sorry
that this is going to be a little light on the info, but it is 2:30 am
and tomorrow is a big day. I finished posting the heat sheetsand
to the parent for brazil; Yo tengo su pertiga para su hija. Check
out the pictures on the site!! |
| DAY THREE
(Friday, first Day of competition). Can
we say Rain, Tornadoes and high winds? Although it did not happen
during the Pan Am portion, it did occur during the youth games that
caused the youth meet to be delayed. As a results of afternoon
showers during the youth meet, the meet was pushed back about 2 hours
and finished at about 11:00 PM tonight with the men's 10,000. The
competition was fierce and the people were great. Also today,
several of the big names in HS track and field showed up with
Jim Spier, Mike Byrnes and Last, but certainly
not least, Doug Speck,
the statistical guru for Junior athletes. Check out the pictures
and results, there are a bunch today. - Fred |
