Opening Ceremonies!

9.6.08



Tonight we march into battle as one country- The USA agienst the World !

The battleground is China. The goal is not land or power but rather a gold medallion

that tells everyone Worldwide who's
best.



Tomarrow I race in the 3 km ind. pursuit on the velodrome. My personal goal is to

set a personal best and break the Paralympic American record of 3:58:00

The podium times will be closer to 3:40. That is on a different plane from what I

can manage. My time will come out on the open Chinese Roads.



but tonight - dressed in our Ralph Lauren Fighting costume we march as one into Beijing!!
