Whitby's McLean shares her feelings on softball game one
Blogging her way through the Olympics
August 12, 2008
Whitby softball player Erin McLean is through game one of her Olympic experience and her blog has the details...
"Team Canada's first game of these Olympics has come and gone. We took Chinese Taipei 6-1 in the opening game of the tournament. We hit very well as a team and played some solid defense.
I slept pretty well last night considering my nerves started early. My roommate and I watched a movie with the intention of falling asleep to it. Needless to say that didn't happen. We got up early, went for breakfast and made our way to the field with the help of a police escort. Normally the ride takes us 25 minutes when we go to practice. Today, with the escort, it took 40! Go figure :) Sitting on the bus for an extra 15 minutes was exactly what we all wanted to do when all we could think about was getting on the field."
