0.17

The legal alcohol limit? My body mass index? The chances of there being fresh snow in North Conway? No, no, no!. 0.17 - The difference that separates 4th place from 3rd place (not that I'm bitter)- separating a winner from a loser. U Go Girl! Well, go faster, because you were 0.17 away from winning a Major Award! Sigh. A tighter tuck? A sharper edge? Less drag? The world will never know. No one remembers 4th place. Do they give copper medals at the Olympics? Methinks not.
But a big KUDOS to Speed Racer for pulling out the the silver medal - the place on the podium - actually winning a major award. What it is, you will have to stay tuned to find out. But in the meantime, here's to you Speed Racer, my hero. Way to go girl!

OK - the guilt is KILLING me. What Kiwi hasn't realized is that had they got the age groups right, SHE would have been in 3rd place in her group and I would have been a measly 7th (or 8th, maybe??) in mine. So, she really is a winner.

(BIG deep exhale) I feel MUCH better now!!
