We're in the village now! It is amazing. There are bikes all over the place to ride from one place to another. We just leave them and grad another one to get back.

The apartments buildings are brand new and will be for sale when the event is over.

The practice track is really nice. There is also a 3-lane 200m track. The food is great and we can get it almost any time of day. Breakfast is advertised as 5am to 11am. Lunch is from 11am to 5pm. Dinner is from 5pm to 2am. Hopefully, I can make it through the 3 hours from 2-5am without getting too hungry.

I'll take some video of the village today to show you what it is like.

The one big problem here is that everything is technologically advanced. I went to do laundry yesterday. The washers are brand new and only have Korean writing on them. They are also very advanced, so there are buttons all over them with digital displays that make no sense unless you read Korean (I haven't figured that out yet). Fortunately, there were two Korean ladies that didn't speak English, but helped me get the washer going. They don't have dryers here so I hung everything around my room. Even getting into our room took some effort due to the high-tech door lock. We had to push a lot of buttons in the correct order. I'm pretty good at that now, but people are still getting locked out of the building. We have to push ##7401 to get in and if you mess up it's hard to reset. Yesterday, I was trying to get in with someone and we were not succeeding. After pushing a few random buttons, a lady came over a speaker and said something in Korean, then the door popped open. We still don't know the Korean voice was, but we think we translated what she said as "Stupid Americans!".

I had a great long run yesterday that gave me some good confidence in my preparation. I feel good today, so the recovery from the run is going well. I think I'll be ready for a good run at St George this year.
