Dear future racer,
The world race is a very very wild time. Here is a list of 10 do’s, don’ts, tips and random things about the race that I didn’t want to type into paragraph form:)
- Training camp is not what the race will be like. Push through brothers and sisters. There are brighter days ahead. If you love training camp then 100 points for you. If you don’t, you are not alone I swear it, you are not the only one crying by yourself in your tent.
- It is not 9 months of letting yourself go, please shower, brush your teeth, and do your laundry. Bring clothes you like! You will want to feel cute and put together!
- Say yes to things. Go to the water fall, volcano, beach, and that hike. Don’t miss out on opportunities that are once in a life time. there are things I have done on the race that I will probably never get to experience again. You just have to say yes!
- The race is not for quitters. It is hard, it takes a lot of courage and energy and faith. It is so worth it. It is the most rewarding when you choose into the hard things.
- God will show up. If you position yourself into a place of receiving, your life will change before your eyes and it’s beautiful.
- Don’t create expectations in your mind. The only expectation I would have is that God will move.
- eat the weird foods
- Choose into community, it can be easy to give up and cling to one person, but this community is nothing like you’ll ever have. Chose it when it gets hard.
- Be patient grasshopper, don’t put God in a box. Just be steadfast and persevere.
- be vulnerable, the race is absolutely exhausting when you bottle up all your emotions. Be honest with where you are at. You won’t regret it.
This is just the tip of the iceberg with things to say about the race. A lot of it you will learn as you go but preparation is essential! The race has been the most amazing experience of my life. I think every person ever should go on the race. This blog is real short so if you have any questions please ask!! I have 2 months and 5 days left of this thing. I cannot believe I have made it this far. Thank you to all my supporters for helping me get where I am. And Thank you future racers for choosing the race. You got this!!
