Like you said, the roll down this year will go far. Don't let the fact that it is going to be a crappy, god awful hot, humid race deter you. Suck it up for the trip to Hawaii, that's where the payoff comes. If I had not been already qualifyied, I would force myself to go. Just too bad it has to be that way. We should be dying to go to our national championship, not dreading it.
