This week I am in Hyderabad, India launching one of our January World Race squads. Over the course of the next 5 days we have close to 200 new racers launching out into the Nations.
Caroline Crawford,
Erin Winget and I are traveling to India and Thailand with 2 of the groups and
Andi Wendel and
Aaron Bruner are traveling with the others. It is an exciting week!
India is a new country and new adventure for me. Honestly, I had heard mixed reviews on India and wasn’t sure if I was excited or not! People either love it or hate it. I was hoping to fall in the former category and I think it is happening! It is just so refreshing to be out in the World doing what I love.
The launch is going well and as always I am positive THIS is the best bunch of racers we have ever had. Don’t tell them that I say that every time! This time I really mean it. 🙂
We are eating crazy amounts of curry, sleeping in a mildew smelling hotel and traveling via little motorized “autos”. (think motorcycle with a cart on the back pulling you along). It has been an experience. This afternoon a 10 minute drive for Caroline and I somehow turned into a sight-seeing mission including Subway, a $6, 90 minute auto ride and a lot of laughs. It has been a long time since
I have been that lost with absolutely NO idea where we were, how to get where we were going, or really how to communicate either of the above 2 items. We made it back with plenty of video and pics to show for the adventure. This is why I love the World Race!
Thanks for the prayers! We are feeling them. Maybe you should pray for my sense of direction–it could use a little help!
