Former NCSU student live blogging from Beijing

Continuing with my Sat. Olympic mini blog-a-thon, I came across former NC State student athlete swimmer Dan Velez on the goPack blog, where he’s blogging from Beijing. So far Dan has beenblown away by the amazing the experience from the people and especially the Water Cube. Good luck Dan.

The next day I got to see the Water Cube for the first time. This thing is by far the most amazing thing I have ever seen. We pulled up to the Cube with the National Stadium (Bird's Nest) in the background, and honestly my eyes welled up with tears. I think this may be when qualifying for the Olympics finally truly hit me hard. The Water Cube is just indescribable. Easily the fastest pool I've ever seen, and just an amazing sight.
