How many days does it take for big news to sink in? Apparently when you Make the United States Youth/Junior Biathlon team competing in the World Youth/Junior Biathlon Championships in Sweden it takes more then 3.
The team announcing ceremony felt suspiciously like a dream, and I still can't believe it actually happened.
At the team announcing ceremony they called up all the members of the team. As we stood at the front of the room, Vlad talked to the room about our travel plans and the trip itself. He then called us into a group to talk about what we were getting as members of the team. As Vlad put it "It will be like Christmas...only better...and ski poles, you get new ski poles. If bag not full when you get to Sweden, bag is full when you leave Sweden." More exciting then any of that is the thought that I'm getting the opportunity to go race against the best youth biathletes in the world. *gulp* Hmmm...maybe I wont think about that yet.
BUT (oh yes, there is a but), the goal is not to make the team. The goal is to go to Europe and beat some Europeans...and some Canadians...and some half Canadians (or am I the only one?)
With 26 days till we get to Sweden, the count down is on.
