While you want a good turnout thus providing funding to cover the venue overheads there lies the dreaded dilemma, there needs to be, if numbers decree, more heats, yes that could lead to the Dreaded 4 Heats
or More
Like the dilemma of the sword of Damocles do we hope there is a smaller turnout meaning a STAGGERING 3 Heats
or less,
or lots of racers spoiling the evening by providing lots of lovely lucre
but at a cost of having more heats
For anyone stressing due to a frenetic race regime, you may benefit from a course of Prozac or similar (providing your GP prescribes them), for a more holistic approach a few mantra chants will provide a soothing sonic massage (between rounds when there's time, may well suffice)
What would cicero have thought you may ask!
Reflect on a few words by Steve in his Stanford address
"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything -- all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure -- these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart."
I think he meant 3 Heats or 4
or
