You\'re right about Sheriffs. In one of those articles, Sheriffs said the BC classic might be an option and then a race later in the year(?) against Rachel (I\'m assuming at CD!?). I don\'t understand why they baby her so much. I think I respect an athlete who put it all down on the line and failed more than one who was perfect but never knew the extent of his/her depth, but that\'s not Zen\'s fault. I don\'t get why the Pacific Classic wouldn\'t be automatic, the timing is perfect, the race is late this year (in Sept.), and he\'d get a real gauge on whether or not she really is that good a some of us think.
