It’s Your Choice…
The adventure has just begun and the whole experience is blowing my mind and capturing my heart already. All the September and October World Racers are gathered an hour outside of Atlanta, Georgia at a wilderness camp for Training Camp. It really is that; EXCELLENT training. I have been blown away by the excellence with which this organization is run. I am so proud to say I am a part of the World Race. But on to the point of this blog:
I am an introvert. In fact, my number one question for alumni racers when I was first considering going on the Race was, “How do you survive this (live in community as a team in close quarters for 11 months straight) as an introvert.” Two nights ago I reached my introvert high stress point. It feels like I could yell or cry at any moment and I would give just about anything to be in a space where I can’t see or hear any other person. A bit challenging when you are sleeping under a shelter with your 37 teammates! But, God again brought some alumni racers across my path. I was sharing what I was feeling and asking how they got through it. The response, “You just decide to not let it bother you.”
