Just one day left, y’all. One day. Everything I’ve worked hard for, trained for, cried over, fought over, and laughed over is abou to be put into action. I’ll be leaving that part of this incredible journey behind me when I wake up early tomorrow morning (like freakin 2am y’all).
Over these last few days, the stress has literally melted away. Especially yesterday. I know I have an awesome team back at the office that can make dreams come true one email at a time without me having to check in, a husband that is working hard to put our new home together (we moved literally the day before I flew out for this ride). I was able to focus on enjoying San Francisco with friends and it was amazing.
If I haven’t already eluded to it, emotions are already running high. I have given more hugs and smooches in the last day to all these friends (new and old) than I think I’ve given in my whole life. Last night at our team dinner, each captain gave a speech and dammit if I didn’t almost break down in front of the whole group giving that speech. I blame all the other captains for that lol. I thought speeches were optional – and as I stood at the end of the row of captains, each one of them said a few words – so I quickly threw something together in my mind. Of course I had to go all “emotional Josh” on them all. 🙂
I’m about to jump in the shower now, and head down to Cow Palace to get my bike, have it put together, then attend orientation. After that I’m gonna do some more site seeing and whatnot. Then it’s EARLY to bed (no really, we have to go to bed early to be up by 2 or 3 or whatever).
I’m so excited! It’s almost here…
