It's Game Time



Holy crap I want to pee my pants. It is finally here, what I have been training for over the past year has come. I have packed my overnight bag, my bike plates are on, and my fundraising is 106% complete! Now all I have time to do is reflex on my journey thus far. Feel free to walk down memory lane with me;

All I have to say is WOW. What a long way I have come. It really goes to show that WITH a little determination, heart, an amazing family, and the best friends anyone could ever ask for – you can do anything your heart desires.

So Where is my Head At?
I would consider myself to be an athlete, I have participated in the Nationals and the Winter Games for Squash, I was a "Center" in Ringette (that was before girls were allowed to play hockey), and I was on my high school Badminton team. So why am I so nervous about being able to finishing this ride. I have no doubt my competitiveness will kick in when I need it too, and I am not an easily defeated person. But man am I starting to feel a huge sense of Holy F&^$*&% SH*!

So it's no secret to anyone that this ride is going to be a wet one, and because my sister has been praying for rain the entire week as she doesn't like to sweat or for whatever reason she has... we are going to get WET (yes I am blaming the rain on my sister). And while that could discourage most, I am not phased about the rain. Sure it's not ideal, but my excitement is still in the fore front. So... I may finish the race a drowned rat, but what I will walk away with is a whole lot more. I will walk away knowing; I (we) have made a difference, that I have the strength to encourage, participate and be apart of something bigger then anything I have ever done. And an amazing journey that I will have shared with my sister and mother.

I do want to say thank you so much to all of you, not only for your part in my fundraising, but for all your support, morale and encouragement. You have no idea the impact you all have made in my training, my heart and my life.

All My Love
Christy
