without limits

here it is. regionals. all the work, sacrifice, sweat, pain, and time, all rolled into 2 days of check cashing.

physically, i don't think i have ever been more prepared. i believe i am faster, stronger, and in better shape than i have ever been.

mentally, i am doing the right things to put me in a good place. i am visualizing what i want to happen. i am recognizing there is nothing we can do about uncontrollables. i know that a positive attitude all weekend, no matter what, is what is going to help our team to be the most successful it can be.

looking back, the training has been awesome. going out to the track, riding my bike, practice, trying-out, really diving deep into myself. i have never worked so hard to reach a goal, fail at that goal, and then work harder to reach a new goal.

is there more i could have done, yes. will i do more next year? yes. but i am at a place that i have never been before.

i have never pushed myself like a have the 10 months. 10 months!! this all started on january 1st, when i started keeping track of my workouts. there have been high points, there have been low points, but after this weekend, i know that i have done something i have never done before. i have taken huge chances and set incredible goals. i still have the opportunity to reach these goals, but the most important one has surfaced on its own. i can push myself harder than i thought i could. i know a new threshold that i am able to be at and i can push that even farther.

i am proud of you. i am proud of me. my work is far from done, but i know that i can do it, whatever "it" turns out to be.

go out there and have some f-in fun this weekend. be you.

your team will follow you, through thick and thin. be the rock.

hop on my back boys, i am about to take you for a hell of a ride.
