T-19: Indications now are that the pattern shift we were expecting mid-month may be breaking down. We had been expecting temperatures to remain just above normal but now those temperatures may stay in the 5 to 10 degree above normal range as opposed to a 2 to 5 we had been expecting. The real concern that remains will be rain, not expecting long period rain events, more likely half day periods of showers/t-storms which should keep these rain events in the under an inch range.

The Venue Specific training was held in 2 sessions yesterday for all those that could attend I believe we found it to be extremely useful. One of the key lessons was a video by Chris Young on Protocol, basically a top 10 list of do’s’ and don’t in dealing with an International public. A lot of his points could/should be commonsense but we can always use a refresher course on that from time to time. All and all it was a great experience, and for those of you who are still on the fence on volunteering, their is still time for you.
The pace is picking up and with only 26 days to go it only going to get quicker. Jamie Link pointed out that ticket sales are picking up, which isn’t really a surprise, at this point the expectations is somewhere in the 200 – 300,000 spectator range which would be about the perfect size for this event in my opinion.

Last night I was at the Horse Park for some of the volunteer job specific training and came away with a very good feeling about the Games. Everything is starting to come together and I honestly do believe these Games are going to be the best for everyone from the competitors to the spectators and volunteers. As a Kentucky Colonel and a volunteer I want to say to all the other volunteers, thanks and I look forward to meeting many of you. I am signed up for 12 days during the Games and 2 days before so suspect I will get to meet a good number of you all. For those of you who haven’t signed up to volunteer but want to, their are still opportunities available so I would highly recommend doing it. The link to volunteer is given below.
