I now have less than twenty-four hours until I race. It's about time too. We (Australia) have had some ups and downs in the championships, but we've gained momentum as it went on. I'm not saying that I'll be able to add to our medal tally, but hopefully I will be able to contribute a worthwhile performance ahead of the final night of competition.

I have prepared all my drinks, done all the training, done all the resting, the carbo loading, etc, etc. There is not much more I can do to help my performance tomorrow, but there is a lot I can do to stuff it up. So I will kind of live in a "bubble" until I race.I'd love to go out and watch Sally win the hurdles and watch a cracking 1500m, but I can't. I'll be watching it all at home on the TV like most of you out there. I have done enough of the floating around the village and to the stadium to have had a good experience, I don't need to go jeopardizing my performance.
