Arizona Here I Come!
YIPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEE!! I am very happy to say that today I won the PA qualifier for the Best of the US so come October I will be in Tempe, AZ racing hard and trying to represent PA well! And again I say...YIPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
Of course full race report to follow but I just wanted to thank everyone now for their good luck wishes and texts and phone calls and emails and just general support that truly means the world to me. Very much appreciated it! Also appreciated, as always, is my husband, the tireless O, who drives all over the planet, gets up at 4 am, carries my crap all around, scouts out the course and the area, puts up with my nervousness and general crankiness prior to races, and the list goes on and on and on...all for...well, not much. :)
The best equipment manager around: (and no you can't have him!)
And so indeed June 1, 2008 turned out to be much better than June 1, 2007. It didn't however, go without a crash. Not a bike crash, no. But a swim crash. Today. Right before the start of the race. I swear only I could manage to "crash" in swim warmups. :) But more on that later. Because right now I feel like I've been up for 24 hours straight! Good night everyone!

Nice racing Beth. I am looking forward to reading your race report and hearing about the hills and the x-country run part.
Hope you have a good day!
