@nwmrt Congratulations!!!!! You can definitely look forward to the unique and magical feeling carrying the Torch! It will be an unforgettable experience, not only for you, but also for the people along the relay route watching you and the Flame. Take your time and be sure to look up at it yourself. Also, maybe think of something creative to do while carrying the Torch. :) Have fun!
