Good luck in France - will they seed you this time??
Thanks mom! Maybe maybe not, but it's not a huge deal, since it's a women's wave first and there aren't tons of ladies. Last year I wasn't seeded, started on the second line, with only the 10 seeded women in front, and I easily scampered up to the lead pack before getting out of the stadium. It's a smallish race, so I bet if I argue I came in 4th last year they'll let me start on the front line even!
