Into Milwaukee

This morning we had a nice and short little ride into Milwaukee. Since we had such a short ride and didn't have to be there until after 1, we got to sleep a little extra. The catch was that breakfast was scheduled for 6 AM so we had to get up, eat breakfast, then go back to bed for a few hours. We arrived to a large school recreation area where we did all kinds of wheelchair sports and ate lunch. To the left is a little girl named Gabi that I met. She was the cutest little girl and it was amazing to see her cruise around despite the fact that doctors said she would not walk with the spina bifida. It was great talking with her parents, learning about their struggles, and seeing the smiles that she brought to their faces. After playing sports we went downtown to a cycling criterium (street race with lots of laps on a closed course) that was sponsored by Saturn. They hosted us for dinner and we got to watch some incredible athletes in action. We then made our way to lodging which is the Tommy Thompson center, a large motelesque facility that houses Olympic athletes who train in the facility next door.
