Dressed for success one month before my race!

This time in one month I could be standing on the victory dais in China! wow what a thought. I have certainly been doing all the training to make it come happen, and am feeling quite tired as a result. Physically = tired and exhausted. Mentally= so excited!

Today I picked up my uniform for Beijing. always an exciting occassion as it makes the games feel that much closer. We have some great gear, from Addidas and Herringbone, in blue, green and gold. Unfortunatly most of mine doesn't fit (my arm muscles are just too BIG!) so i will spend most of my last week in Australia visiting a dressmaker for alterations.

I'm leaving in 7 days yay!!!!!
