Day one: cable trenching, torch relay reaches Whistler

Friday was scheduled as my Venue Specific Training morning and I wasn't scheduled to work, but there is lots to do, so as soon as training was finished, I was put to work.

We have 13 starts to set up, when you include all the alternate, bad-weather start locations. So, lots of cable trenching and laying of conduit to protect the cables.

After shift, I rode the bus to the village with one of my roommates and we got right into the liddle of the giant torch celebrations. There were thousands of people from all over, and lots of excitement in the air. It was fantastic to be able to see this again, having had the torch through Trail and Rossland on Jan 24.
