The ultimate challenge of body and mind.

Months, weeks, days, hours of preparation, mental and physical.

Enjoying every small success along the way.

When the day finally arrives, you’re prepared.

Push past the doubts, fears.

Have Faith.  Confidence. Strength.

Don’t give into peer pressure when others around you walk, quit.

This day is all about you.

Want it badly enough to numb yourself to the onset of aches, pains.

Know that what you are experiencing is just a short period of time in the

rest of your day, in the rest of your life.

You can do it. 

Move forward and don’t stop until you reach your goal.

You see it ahead. It’s so close but physically seems so far away.

You did it. You can believe it.  You left it all out there but now you own it.
