Here to fight another day

August 16, 2008

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

All of the love and support from around the USA (and beyond) has been so touching and encouraging. WE have made it to the final on Sunday. Myself along with the investment of so so so many other people.

The race was crazy to say the least. There were several messy pile-ups and I'm really blessed to have made it though 99% unscathed. I'm off to catch a nap. Rest and recovery so I can rock on Sunday.

I'm also so happy for and proud of Anna for making it through to the final as well. She's a tough woman and it'll be good to have another USA woman in the bunch. Thanks again for all of the support and look for both of the USA ladies to show up Sunday ready to fight.
