I leave in three days. I am so excited. Like. I can’t even. You don’t even know! We leave Tuesday for Atlanta, launch is officially Wednesday, then….off to the DR! Now, with that being said, I thought it would be cool to document what I left the race with and what I came back with at the end of the year; it might be helpful to future racers! So here is Part 1!
