I wouldn't jeopardize Shauna, my closest friend. I knew what it's meant to her to get to the games and as much as I wanted to be here, if I didn't think I could do it, I would have taken myself out of the sled. I didn't want to have on my conscience us not doing well because of me. -Valerie Fleming

My preference would be to start as early as possible. I get extremely nervous. I can't eat all day long. I just want to get up there and get it over with.
