Leading up to the race
*I will do my best to recap the whole amazing experience that was the Olympic Trials. Here is part one: I flew out Thursday for the race. My family and coach Jerry met me at the Red Wing airport and we boarded the company’s private jet. What an absolutely awesome experience :). We arrived in…
