Its funny how your expectations for something can be way off. For months now, I have been eagerly awaiting training camp to get here. Now half way done with it, I think it is safe to say I have felt every emotion I could feel. I’m starting to feel mentaly exhausted. But, I have such a peace because I know that I am having to go through all this to get closer to Him. I know I need to be molded to be a better racer, a better son, a better person, a better follower of Christ…
So far, the days have felt very slow in a good way. The men in our group, have quickly bonded and have made many memories. The sermons and lessons have spoken to us all individualy and have given us much to think about. Team building exercises have been very interesting and exciting, but at times for me, a little frustrating.
All in all, I feel that this has been an amazing experience and I feel blessed to be able to go through a time of being together before starting the World Race. I look forward to finishing up here at training, but I have to be honest when I think about going back home after this and waiting till July. Meeting my teammates and the staff has made us all more eager to start the race. The time in between training and launch for the race will be another chapter of this exciting event in my life. But to be real, it is a chunck of time that I hope goes by slowly. I know I need all the time possible to get everything together and have one last time to do what I need to do before traveling the world.
