Tris pov.
wake up at exactly 3:30 a.m. Today I meet Olympians going to the same camp as me.I put on my clothes and head to the washroom and brush my teeth and hair. I take a deep breath and look in the mirror. "You can do this. It doesn't matter that you're not as good as them they are Olympians. You can do this." I say to the girl in the mirror.
I pack my phone and chargers in my carry-on and then grab it and bring it down stairs and see my parents ready to go out to the car so we can head to the airport. I put on my shoes and a sweatshirt and head out into the car. I throw my carry-on in the trunk and go back inside the house and grab my ski boots and throw them in the trunk too.
It takes 30 min to get to the Toronto Pearson Airport from where I live. When we finally arrive at Pearson, my Dad parks the car in the parking garage and I get out and open the trunk. My parents pull out my suitcase and ski case and I grab my ski boots and carry-on. We walk to the check in area to get me checked in and chuck my stuff.
After we chuck my stuff we try to find Max my coach for the next week. I see him sitting and talking to Eric coulter and Shauna Skarvan. I have a mini freak out moment because I am actually meeting Olympians. "Hi guys, my name is Max which you probably already know since I have been emailing with your Dad, and you must be Tris right?" Max asks. "Yep and I'm really excited to be here!" I reply with as much enthusiasm as I can for 4:20 in the morning "Great! This is Eric and Shauna they will be skiing and training with you this week you guys will be spending a lot of time together so hopefully, you can all be friends."
"Nice to meet you guys." I say while shaking each of their hands. "Omg Tris I watch a lot of your youtube videos and you are so good at skiing also congrats on getting sponsored by Head,POC and slalom." Shauna says. Shauna seems like such a sweet girl. Eric doesn't say anything to me but just finishes solving the rubric's cube he was working on.
"Hey, guys did you miss me?" Shouts somebody 10 meters away. As they get closer I recognize them none other than Zeke and Uriah Pedrad the famous skiing twins. "My boys, how are you doing?" Asks Max "Great, And who is this lovely lady?" Uriah asks me. "This is Tris she is the new recruit on the squad." Max says. "Wait are you Tris prior the new and upcoming GS skier?" Zeke asks. "Ya why?" I ask. "The whole Squad one year went out to blue mountain just for fun and we saw you racing there you were amazing!" Zeke replies. "Thanks." I say.
Later we have all the squad and I met some more Olympians like Christina Pery, Marlene Greene, Will Biggs, Tobias Eaton, Lynn Janyk and the assistant coach the very famous Victoria Wo (Tori). Eric,Zeke,Marlene and me are all GS skier's while, Christina, Tobias and Shaunna are all Slalom skiers and Lynn and Will are XL GS skier's. Christina brings a sign that says Whistler Olympic summer ski team 2016. Our parents all make us stand in front of the sign to take pictures.
Soon it's time to say goodbye to our parents, we all hug and kiss our parents and then we head to customs . I make it through customs ok, but Shaunna gets stopped for hand warmers and Uriah got stopped for sun screen. We all eventually make it to the gate. "Hey Max is there any food around here?" Asks Christina. "There is a Tim Hortons and a little snack shop but other from that I didn't see anything" "Ok thanks." Christina and Lynn turn towards me. "Hey Tris do you wanna come to the snack shop with us?" Asks Lynn "Hey Lynn is it ok if We tag along?" Asks Eric pointing to the boys. "Sure!" I answer.
We all get up and walk towards the snack shop passing Shaunna, Max and Tori standing on the very long line to Tim Hortons. The snack shop isn't very big and doesn't have a lot of snack it's mostly just magazines and books and stuff to do on planes. I look through the vegetarian area and find sunflower seeds and protein bars. I grab a protein bar and head to the cashier. Everybody else seems to be in line too. It was really just us and one other person. I looked around and saw that everybody else had gotten some kind of candy. "A protein bar really Tris out of all of this candy you get that." Says Uriah "Yes unlike the rest of you I do not eat candy and this is really the only thing in here I could eat because I am a vegetarian and there is a lot of jerky." I replied
"why do you not eat meat?" Asks Will "I don't really have a choice it's something with the chemicals in the meat that make me really sick so I can't eat it." "That really sucks…...WAIT THAT MEANS YOU'VE NEVER HAD BACON!" Screams Uriah "Ya I know." I say with sass. Everybody laughs at that and we all get stares.
I eventually make onto the plane and get seated. The Olympians were so much fun and already so competitive and we haven't even started. What's going to happen when we make on the ski hill?
Hey guys, How are you doing? I'm doing just fine I was just at my cabin for a couple of days so I couldn't update. Anywho XL GS is just extra large giant slalom and I will try to update soon.
Thanks ~Sky
