It was an interesting experience sitting there on the 91 freeway Saturday morning. I was thinking about all the hundreds of bus rides I've taken over the years, never have we had a breakdown. One feels so helpless in that situation. What can you do? It wasn't the driver's fault. Stuff like that happens and leaves you thinking, "well, I guess we wait it out." Hope it never happens again.

Clovis is this weekend! I love everything about the trip. The drive is very manageable, the meet is so well organized, the course is to die for, and the competition always brings the best out of us. I can hardly wait!

Patience! We're doing a wonderful job of being patient in racing! Many of you are figuring out the early 1000 meters is not overly critical ... you gotta race, but you don't have to be winning at 1000 meters. Be patient, and the fast-starters will come back.
