Day 3 - More Team Processing and Score Setup

Team Processing after load-out (not including classrooms and hallways)

Well another DLR (Docklands Light Rail) ride to Stratford this morning.  I'm starting to feel like a local already communiting to work daily.  Stratford is the main station for the Games.  It is basically the closest station to Olympic Park, the Village, Sarah Bonnell, and UEL-Stratford.  Another morning stop at the 'Golden Arches' felt pretty routine as well.  It was scheduled to be a hectic day at SBS since 9 truck loads were coming in with goods and that was on top of the 4 the previous day.  Not only was the first truck delaying everyone by not being able to be opended and not having a shipping scanner but once it was unloaded it got stuck in the street preventing any other trucks from coming in.  It was actually a sight to see because the truck was spinning out due to the slope of the pavement and then about 10 of us got in the trailer on one side and started jumping to get it to grip.  It was pretty comical.  The afternoon was spent back at Score where we assembled one judo ring and then put together the steel frame for the boxing ring.  By the time we stopped back at SBS later the place was PACKED!

Pallets were filling the hallways.  We stopped at another bar and grill for dinner.  I experienced my first 'fish and chips' in England.  It was actually quite good.  The fish reminded me of fish back in Minnesota.  I washed it down with a Deuschars IPA.  IPA's are one of my favorite beers but they must be made differently over here.  It didn't have much of a 'hoppy' taste.  It was good nonetheless and was a solid ending to the day.  Good night London!


Days left until Olympic Games: 16
