#power2podium: time to slide

I've checked in .... On Facebook to Edinburgh airport. So it's official. No turning back now, I am off to Lillehammer. And over the next few days will have taken my first run down the track there. Gulp. I've got my padding (a mat), shoe goo to protect my toes(!), baggy jumper to slow me down, copious amounts of painkiller, enough chocolate to feed all 10 of us and most importantly a nervous excited feeling in my belly :)

I can see the aeroplane from departures and am just waiting to board. I've organised my notes on the track to learn during the flight. I managed to get my 21.9kg case on the plane for no extra cost. I didn't spend any money in Kurt Geiger (20% sale). I even left work in a reasonable state. Just one thing that I didn't get done. 

The past few days were hectic to say the least. A lot of obstacles (mainly work) to overcome and a mad dash to sort out my currency. Countless checks that I have my passport and ticket. Some serious airport fear about how much my bag weighs.

So that's me. They just called boarding. Next time I write I'll be in Norway. Probably should have checked out the language!! Can't even say hello or thank you. I'll try to learn but most importantly do my very best to make the team.
