Chinese Olympic Adventure: Day 零

Picture

At 1:11pm on 11/11/11 (for pneumonic's sake), I was half-awake and knuckle deep in an unidentifiable foramen of a plastic skull in skeletal anatomy class.  It was Friday, I was a week and a half from Thanksgiving break, and the reason I had chosen to go "back to  school" was already a fuzzy blur at only week 7 of 11 in quarter 1 of 13 in chiropractic school. I swear I was about conjure up the name of that foramen when I suddenly felt an all-too-familiar vibration in my front right jeans pocket. With the new schedule including 28 units, my phone had filled with such constant alerts and messages that I felt phantom phone vibrations even in the shower. I felt my Pavlovian response, sans drool, take over before I could even think about trying to resist looking.  I slid the phone out quietly, carefully maintaining it in the imaginary shadows cast by the professor at the front of the lab. This was a much welcomed brain break. It was from Rett Larson, a good friend and although I didn't know it at the time, the Project Manager for Athletes' Performance in China. It wasn't until halfway through the text that my sympathetic nervous system kicked on; 

"I'm at AP (Athletes' Performance) brainstorming my dream team to take to China and your name came up."

<cue dilated pupils & increased heart rate> 

"Any chance you want to pause school and come on this 10-month adventure with Joshua and me?"

I thought something like, "Foramenrotundumforamenlacerumholycrapforamenovaleforamenmagnum." Fight or flight indeed.  

I responded, "I'm going to call you ASAP, my friend. I'm smiling right now."

And thus began my adventure with the Chinese Olympic Team.

    Why do we     post articles?

    As we sift through journals, websites, textbooks, etc, it is impossible to memorize every detail of what we read. The Purpose of  collecting these articles is two-fold:

    1) to build an organized database of information that we come across in order to reference & revisit the material when it becomes acutely relevant,

    2) to share the wealth of knowledge, elevating our collective consciousness.
