breathless pause at the threshold of a long passage

Well, the title makes it sound like things are paused, but really they are actually in a state of hyperactivity. So much to do, think about, plan, discuss, buy, arrange, organize, and keep on schedule. It's a massive undertaking to get 18 people organized for a non-stop race. It's mind boggling the amount of details that have to be run down. But we're getting there--and we're feeling great.

As I read before bed the other night, I stumbled across this quote. I think it's exactly where we are:

"In this breathless pause at the threshold of a long passage we seemed to be measuring our fitness for a long and arduous enterprise."

-Joseph Conrad, The Secret Sharer
