Brogan Born to Run in Geneve

My hotel was nice but 15 min away from Stade de Geneve ....as usual hard to find exact times of trains ...but got up 8:00 for 9am  Roll Call. Helped tourist guy find back door to hotel and started to train stop=..brisk walk.
Saw train about to pull away at 8:37...oh oh goodbye...
Next train coming at 8:47....oh oh 15 min trip...oh oh will be late. 
I email Esther for possible help. I am worried because I am number 76 and must take train then short bus one stop to Stade. 
Train is in fact 3 min late....oh oh  I text fan buddy Ludo..suggest he tell funny stories to queue boss..hope to delay so I make it...
Train arrives centrum...I have pumped up, had water, strap tight my pack, turned cap backwards, tighten shoes.....= Ready to Run
Doors open..bang I am out doors run  3 blocks to buss top. ..oh oh. .. I text Ludo say I will be 10 min late...hope Waiting on a Miracle ...
See motorcycle guy, but he says no no I need a helmet to hitch ride....
Look at bus schedule....oh oh 7 minutes....so flag down woman car, roll window down...she say no sorry she hurry to work. 
I remember to Breathe and Run.
Text fan friend Anne to give my tickets to fans if I have heart attack....=texting on FAST RUN...
I skip bus and head I think pretty sure towards Stade.== BORN TO RUN FAST... I am total sweat just like Bruce on second song....
Get some text from Ludo but everything is blurry...tasting blood in throat....
SEE Stade next block, hear crowd I line. ...Ludo text says ok but I do not see
===BORN TO RUN SUPER FAST...WILL BREATHE LATER...
 I round corner, see crowd..
I yell with my last breath B R O G A N  from S E A T T L E !
Ludo says slow down....someone has Pushed the clouds away and given me a Sunny Day. My number is saved
Takes me over an hour to catch breath and able to eat
It is a very nice Bruce family.....
