Revelstoke - Kamloops (Day 90)

My day started early this morning with a 645 start. You could still feel the cold as it was about minus 6 out there. The flame got on a train from Revelstoke which was quite nice to see with the lit cauldron at the back. As we arrived in Salmon Arm for the lunch celebration, the sun was out and it was starting to warm up.

It amazes me to see how many 1988 Olympic torch relay uniform that people are wearing on the side of the road. The crowd was great and another nice celebration was on its way. This is the end of my day, which was a short one running wise with about 10 km of running. The flame will make its way to Kamloops tonight.


Special assignment:
I got back in the relay tonight. I was lucky to be assigned to Mark Recchi currently playing for the Boston Bruins as he was the final torchbearer along with famous Canadian athlete Nancy Greene Raine. I spoke with Mark and he was very proud to carry the Olympic flame.
