Raceday...

So... Raceday and I´m not in any way, shape or form ready for it!

I´m running a fever, my throat is sore and one of my toenails has fallen off, due to a previous shoe incident...

Anyway, as promised, I meet up with the other girls of which I only know one, Susanne.

No need to worry, they´re all great ladies and we have alot of fun pre-race.

I´m starting as # 4 in the race of a total of 5.

When it´s my time to go to the swap area I´m anxious, and have a splitting headache.
I see Ewa coming up and yell to her, waving my arms in the air. I get the relay baton and start to run....

First 200 meters are killing me! I´m sure my pulse will race through the roof and kill me there and then!!
Nobody would realize I´m dead until at least 25 minutes, and that´s just no good.

So, trying to keep up the tempo I try to focus on just finishing the race. I didn´t bring my iPod, because I thought I was going to have to concentrate too much to listen to music. This was a big mistake!!!! Next race (yes, people, I will do this again...) I´m bringing music, dammit.

Still, I finished the race and was semi dead when passing on the baton to Susanne, our last runner.

After the race we had picnic, then dinner, and party. All in all, a great day and a fantastic evening. I´m happy to have met a bunch of new cool gal´s!!

Out of office and heading for bed, Ciao!
