Reno: Day one

I thought I'd break this trip recap down into each day, so that I'mless likely to forget anything.

Day 1:
Friday, March 10th
I woke up at 3:30 AM EST to catch a 6:30 flight. Fine. All things go off without a hitch. I land in Chicago 5 minutes early, and end up running 3 terminals to make my connection. :( Regardless, I barely made it. I landed in Reno at about 10:30 AM PST, and was greeted by Kaylah's mommy at the airport. Yay!

We proceeded to the venue, to catch Kaylah's first event: Div. II Women's Epee.

She started off very well, and went 5-1 in her pool. She came out as the #6 seed, and we were very excited! I coached her all day. She was fencing really well to begin with, but I just felt as if I had come into my "coaching self". I knew exactly what she and her opponets were doing right and wrong, and was able to give her some great advice at certain times.
In the end, she came home with the silver medal and her B06, but I'm pretty confident she could have won the whole thing if she hadn't been so tired in the end. Go Kaylah!

We had some dinner and promptly fell asleep!
