Hello All, It certainly has been a long road as I anticipated in the beginning of this blog. It has just been such an up and down experience for me this year and I have learned a lot about myself as an athlete and a person. I went down to Sacramento on Sunday to do a practice race. I was really dissapointed about it at first because it was the first race ever that I have bonked on. But I was there to practice and that is what I accomplished. I have been concerned about my performance in Australia. I have put a lot of pressure on myself to perform because I thought that is what others expect out of me. I have had a difficult year both emotionally and physically and it has taken its toll. Since I have opened up to friends about all of this and my fears of not doing well at worlds I have had an outpouring of support and love. It has changed my whole attitude about going to this race. I have had a great run for the last few years racing. It has been a wonderful time of meeting challenges and exceeding expectations. I have made a great bunch of friends and have been able to train and compete with an amazing group of women and an incredible coach. So onward from here as we draw nearer to departure time and everyone is getting ready for this trip and this race.
Thanks for listening and thanks to everyone who has supported me through this. I will continue to blog through this event as 13 of us hit the big time!
