After making the drive up from Santa Monica to Carpinteria where my teammates are, all I want to do is take a nap. Am I nervous? Not really. In fact I'm excited. The swim this morning gave me back confidence. I could feel power in my stroke and my back loosening up. What I want now is a nap, some food and to get on the boat. However, I'm pacing in my hotel room, taking care of emails, calling the office and basically doing everything but sleeping. I know tonight will be long, rough, cold and challenging, but I just want it to start!
