All the athlete buses were tricked outThis is part one of a two-part analysis of Worlds before I close the book on it and start focusing on New York Marathon!  Feel free to post questions or comments in the comments section and I’ll do my best to reply.Fake World

When I arrived in Daegu, South Korea, as far as I was concerned, time stopped and the rest of the world didn’t exist.  Outside of my husband and immediate family, everyone else I knew was frozen in time.  If a bill was due, it would be late, late fees and credit score be damned. “The Athlete Village” was my home, my six roommates were my homies, and the rest of the team and staff was my support crew as if they’d been there all along.
