As I stepped off of the plane in Portland yesterday, I was a little concerned. It was around 97 degrees. The airline tricked me, we never left Houston! Well, that is what I thought, but no, we were definitely in Oregon, it was just blazing hot. I am so glad that I am finally here. I was very anxious all week just to be in Oregon. I am here, now I am happy. I have had so much support and continually have heard -- Stay focused. It is the recurring theme, one I will definitely abide by. Focus. Apparently there have been some amazing performances this far. All I have heard this week is that the U.S. team is the hardest team to make. Well I am ready to make the hardest team. There is nothing like excelling amongst the best of the best. The track is nice and warmed up for me. So now I can do what I know I can do! Well, I am off to do my warm up, and to see the final of the men's 1100m!!
