This is how I foresee the blog lineup looking for the next few weeks:
1st: This blog–details below.
2nd: End of the Race Blog #1. It's going to be one of those, "Hmmm? Good point! That's deep," kind of blogs.
3rd: End of Race Blog #2. Much more on the lighter side, I'll do my best to offer my two cents to future racers.
4th: End of Race Blog #3. This is the official, "How was the trip?" blog. It's more an essay, but it's hard to put a year into a minimal amount of words.
5th: Follow up answers to this blog. At this point I should be home, and will hopefully be seeing some of you face to face. (I'm excited. Really.)
THIS BLOG.
So I've been trying to think of a creative way of getting at what I really want, but what I came up with isn't quite accomplishing that, so I'm just going to come right out and say it. "I want to know who has been reading my blogs." Maybe I'm not allowed to do that, but I see the number go up each time, and I'd personally like to thank each of you for following me along this journey. So this is my request:
I have a flight from Dublin to New York, and then New York to Pittsburgh on September 3rd. On my flights I would love to have questions upon questions to answer about the Race. I anticipate a lot in the coming weeks and months as I share what I had the opportunity to do, so I'd appreciate the practice.
Favorite place you've been?
Biggest lesson you've learned?
Hardest moment?
Country with the worst sense of style?
Whatever. Just a comment with a question for me to reflect on is more than I can ask. If you have something against leaving comments, my email address is [email protected]. Thank you for touching base, and helping me transition home with your questions. They're much appreciated.
