August 18th
Started the day with a run on the treadmill. The hot gym and smoke-filled air no longer bother me.
There is a place to buy “North Face” clothing here – a factory outlet or something. Numerous crew members have come back to the hotel with trash bags full of gear.
So I asked at the front desk where this place was… they showed me on a map and I walked there. It was a mall!
There is regular priced North Face clothing at every mall – that is not at all what I wanted.
I did stop at some local shops that I hadn’t been to before, but for the most part, a wasted morning.
Work was fine – we had to edit 16 races, so it was the most we had done to date.
I noticed as I was leaving for work, that my rear bike tire appeared to be low. I went back to the garage as there is an air pump in the bike area. The attendants were eager to help, only to find out their pump had a different nozzle than the tire.
So I gave up and went to work.
It really needs air as it is getting hard to ride.
Asked around at work to see if anyone had a pump. One person did, but it also was for the different type of tire. Agh!
In the evening, I went to the Italian place down the street with a couple of co-workers.
Another uneventful day.
But here are some photos – I will admit, I didn’t take these. Most are stills from video.
I am not sure where this sign is... somewhere inside the venue I am guessing.

Hi Nicole! This is Sharyn, Dave's next door neighbor. You are a true globetrotter! Very impressive photos and information here. I look forward to hearing more about your China trip, when you are back in Worthington! Take care! (Your hair looks fine, too.)
