But now you have one race under your belt Although now have an advantage because you know what to expect. You got your "ish-ies" out as we used to say back in the day! Tomorrow have fun, push yourself the best you can and don't forget you've already won one thing... Being an Olympian representing the USA!!

I ...Congratulations, Melissa, on being in Beijing! I hope you continue to have a wonderful time - whether you advance to finals or not. One of our friends, Marin Morrison, didn't advance to finals in her first race either. Victorious battles are being fought (and won) all the same. I don't know if you are aware that Marin has a blog, too...her father wrote a most inspirational reflection on her race...<BR/><BR/>http://www.caringbridge.org/ga/marin/index.htm<BR/><BR/>Swim strong, enjoy the race. It's been fun to hear your view behind the scenes. Thank you.<BR/>Blessings,<BR/>BethUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00058634842538735378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3263664030898200389.post-19593374313187738742008-09-07T20:08:00.000-06:002008-09-07T20:08:00.000-06:00Melissa, My wife and I are friends of Gavin and Am...Melissa, <BR/><BR/>My wife and I are friends of Gavin and Amanda.
