writing before i go...

I just attached my number to my singlet. I'm so glad that I decided to go with the collegiate-style full singlet, rather than the sports bra which seems to be more popular with post-collegiate women, because the USA logo is still visible. The number is SO BIG that it still takes up a pretty significant area on the singlet, but at least this way, its possible to see both.

My emotions before this race are more like the way I felt before my first high school XC state meet than anything else. In the sense that I know it will involve the same distance that I've been racing all season - familiarity is definitely encouraging in this environment - but that it will take place amid a level of competition that I haven't encountered before. I wish I had time to write more but I've got to go finish getting ready...

Thank you to everyone who've sent so such good wishes my way - I am floating in optimism and floating in general right now...will post again soon after this is over!!!
