So as all of you know I will be leaving for the World Race in August but before that time comes I am leaving tomorrow (Wednesday)for training camp. At training camp I will be meeting my squad, learning more about the world race, and just really preparing for the world race. I am very excited for this journey and I am excited to share it with you!!
Training camp is a 10 day training so I will be leaving on June 7 and returns June 17th. It will be a fun, exciting, and also challenging experience, but I beyond excited and ready!!
A large part of training camp is a physical preparation for the race. At training camp everyone is required to walk 3 miles in under 50 minutes with your large pack. Now when you are thinking about this you might think, wow that would not be that hard. But now think about adding an extra 35 pounds to your body and walking up and down hills. It is not as easy as it might sound and I have made a short vlog to share with you below!!
Now to talk about what is new with my world race is that my countries have had a little change again and instead of going to the Philippines my squad is now going to Thailand. I am very excited for this for this change and I know that there is an even better plan for Thailand !! Also my squad is officially now being called V Squad!!! So this is exciting because it means that this will be the squad that I will be traveling the world with!
So when I get back from training camp I will be sharing some of my journey though training camp with you!! It is going to be amazing and I am very excited!!
