A Deep Breath

This is one of the most exciting parts of a race - the night before. This is when the suspense builds up to a point from which all the results will emerge. Right now anything is possible. We're standing on the edge of the bridge, with the water rushing below, and the fear and excitement and anticipation are all coming to a head. My heart is beating in my ears as the void below beckons toward the unknown. It's all very metaphorical and deep.

I'm ready to race. I can't wait to get out there tomorrow and run as hard as possible. This is going to be the most exciting race of my life and what happens on the course tomorrow will be nothing less than amazing. So I'll take a deep breath and savor the expectation of what's to come, and in six hours get up and head off to the start. Good luck to everyone out there tomorrow.
