Big Dinner

My life has been on fast forward since my last post, a ton has happened but really I don't have time to let anyone know about it. I will let it slip that I had a good race down in Argentina. Maybe I can play catch up later. On to the important things. This evening was the Luna Chix team dinner with sponsors in San Francisco. First, orderves were served and I really had no clue what anything was but I heard words like "anchovies" and "mussels." Yeah, that kind of restaurant. Any other day I would have loved the unknown food but I'll give you a brief description of how this evening turned out. For reference: it wasn't the food. But I did spend the evening in the most physical discomfort I have ever experienced. I believe I had an extremely acidic stomach as there were plenty of burning and cramping sensations--I'll call it mega heart burn. As our main dishes were being served I told Waldek that I was in a lot of pain and that I had to lay down. So I spent the big dinner lying in the team truck on a San Francisco street curb. Oh, and the nineteen year old girl in me got really emotional and stressed out about the whole thing. TJ helped calm me down long enough for my phone battery to die. Lying down for awhile helped things enough, and once I got my head more or less functional I went back long enough to smile for a couple pictures and say some goodbyes. Paul was nice enough to have my dinner boxed up for me but I didn't really know what was in it so I thought it best not to find out, so I gave my dinner to a bum, got a little hug from Katerina and we drove back to Sausalito. And that was only this evening. I had to do a little public speaking this morning.. Anyway, the Luna crew is an incredible group of people. I'm truly honored to be a part of the team and however much respect I had for Marla, Alison, Katerina, Georgia, Shonny, Waldek and the rest of the crew before has grown considerably over the last couple days. So that's that. I guess this whole heart burn-cramping-burning-stomach thing is getting to be a problem. I'll add that to my list of things I need to figure out sometime soon although I think algebra is the most pressing matter at the moment--I've got a test on Tuesday. Take care and sleep well. I know I will.
