Teammates

My teammates objected that I complained about my napping situation the other day. In my defense I wasn't really complaining, and it wasn't actually that awful. In their defense almost every other room offered to let me nap in their room. And I did consider that but I didn't want to be spreading germs to my teammates' rooms.

Anyway, I wanted to mention how awesome my teammates and current housemates are.

Tazlina Mannix made us cookies.
Kate Arduser makes me laugh. And helps me grocery shop.
Kikkan Randall takes tons of photos and videos and lets my steal them. And knows the Norwegian team.
Jeff Ellis both cleared my plate for me and brought me cookies the other day. And called the lobby to get more toilet paper.
Anders Haugen is the reason we have wireless at our condo. He also swept the kitchen floor last night. I think just because he wanted to use the central vac.
James Southam desisted from watching tv yesterday so I could nap in peace.

As Anders told Erik on the phone today, "well, we're still all friends." Good teammates make the difference between a fun trip and a I'm-just-here-to-ski-race-don't-talk-to-me trip.

I'm glad that you all are getting along so well, but you have to admit that a big all on all fight between the members of the APU elite team would be pretty cool. Kind of like that ridiculous fake choreographed wrestling where they hit each other with chairs and stuff; but it wouldn't be choreographed, and you could hit each other with ski poles and rollerskis and stuff. Just something to consider if you guys are bored sometime.
