Off to the show. My flight leaves in two hours and I'm feeling close to ill. It's been awhile since I have felt nerves this early before a competition. It feels good. In the past I have normally fed off it, and I intent to now. Physically I am having a few small issues, but mentally I feel extremely focused and confident.
My last session was not record breaking, but it told me everything I needed to know for when I set foot on historical Hayward Field. Technically 2 things need to be burned into my brain, as I have been visualizing them all day for the last week. Thinking, seeing, and feeling what I need to do. Eyes shut, eyes open, it's there. Emotionally I need to stay calm on the runway. Each clearance over a bar will bring me overwhelming joy and I need to keep it at bay. If I get too excited I struggle to stay focused. Become a robot, no thought, no feeling, no emotion, just purpose, direction, objective. Each moment that passes, as the meet grows closer, all shreds of doubt and fear are leaving my body with every breath.
I can....
