Lindsey Vonn

Dear Lindsey,

You da (wo)man.

As a fellow Minnesotan, let me congratulate you on your amazing performance in the downhill; that - was - gutsy.  I admire your mental focus after so many wipe-outs preceding your race. And I can't imagine the pain that you were in with your shin injury. 

I wish you all the best on your next events, and hope that you're not too disappointed in the fall yesterday.  At least you went down swinging, so to speak.

I was hoping that once your schedule opens up after the Olympics we could try and meet up sometime - perhaps during a visit to your old stomping grounds?  I'd be happy to buy you coffee (or a protein smoothie) in exchange for your signature on the cover of my Sports Illustrated. 

Your #1 Fan,
Julie Oostra

P.S.  Do you have any old skis lying around that you don't use?  I wear a size 8.5 shoe...
