5 miles easy Arrived in Charlotte around 4pm. Changed into running clothes, got the rental car, and drove straight to the course with Renee, Sara S. and Sara V. Jogged the course at dusk and did a few strides in my spikes. Felt really good considering I just got off the plane. Went back to the hotel to shower and then met Sara Slattery's cousin at a yummy Greek Restaurant in downtown Charlotte. Delicious food and good company. After dinner we stopped by the De Reuck's hotel to chat and say hi to all the RRBs. Colleen gave me my race uniform and we headed back to our hotel and went to bed. Nothing like four girls sharing two double beds to remind me of Cross Country trips at BYU years ago. The evening was a nice opportunity to unify as a team and get psyched for the race. |
