Today was official practice. The wind really picked up today just to make things challenging. It did cut down on the overall heat factor though. Mol stuck with the longer distance (60M) today and she was very happy with how things went. My view from the bleachers was very limited but what I could see was impressive. She thinks she has butt mates from Japan, Guatemala and Italy for tomorrow. She has started to collect souvenirs from other archers.
I have lucked out on her butt assignment, #42D. This location will allow me to actually stand behind her to watch. It is a fair distance back but far better than the bleachers, which are at the side of the field and the angle makes it hard to see how the arrows have scored.
Equipment inspection included a crash course on using a PDA. The scoring will be done with one traditional paper scorecard and one electonic scoring device. Both Buttercup and Mol say it was easy to use. Also found out that all archers will advance to the elimination round as they are starting with 1/64(128 archers) matches.
After dinner tonight we(Buttercup & Spence) went for our usual walk down to the Sea and out on the pier. Afterward we dropped off Spence and the kids and I went to the amphitheatre and watched a "Turkish Night". It was an hour long traditional dance show...pretty good too.
Guess we're going to do a little swimming/waterpark stuff in the a.m. to help kill the time before we head out to the range on the 13:00hr bus. She will start at 14:45hr which will be 7:45a.m. EDT.
That's all for now
