1500m
| Posted on February 20, 2010 at 12:20 AM |
I just wanted to quickly let everyone know that the 1500’s start tomorrow (Saturday) at 4:15pm. I’ll be up around 5:48pm skating in the last pair (19) on the outer with Shani Davis - what a pair! Not only am I in the last pair, but I’ll be racing the current 1500m world record holder and 2006 Olympic silver medallist.
To be honest, I was pretty excited to find out that I was in the last pair with Shani tomorrow. I think my eyes might have actually lit up when I read the email from Marcel (my coach). Sure, it’s going to be one hell of a challenge, but what good is it to doubt the possibility? Realizing that my first reaction was one of excitement, and not fear, is pretty encouraging. There’s no doubt, there’s no fear – I’m ready to race!

Best of luck also from Sophie Ramage - a former teacher from Campbell. She and I had lunch together yesterday and remembers you with fond memories.
