My oh my, where does the time go? It seems as though just one month ago preparations began to take place for this large idea, and now nearly half the time has passed before the day we will be travelling arrives!! Fund raising has been a slow-up hill struggle trying to organize things, contact people, just (all in all) get the word out about what exactly I'm trying to do, and why.In December I accomplished my first triathlon, a 750m swim, 20k bike ride, and 5k run. Supposedly a 5k run at least! Us
ing a mountain bike on a flatter than flat bike terrain with little-to no gear stability was a large disadvantage. I finished so slow on the bike that it appeared to the marshals that I was to run the Olympic distance of 10k, which I was already suffering with blisters on my feet due to a new pair of skateboarding shoes acquired the week prior. Transitioning after the bike ordeal I shouted to the officials begging them to let me continue towards the run in bare feet. They acknowledged, approved, and I set out. Running barefoot. My stampede battle towards the finish was relentless in effort, I finished so brilliantly with an extra 5k under my belt that today I set out on another triathlon endeavor.

Awakening at 5:03am this morning early enough to bike my happy one-speed, rusted, white-frame, pink-wheelie steed to the starting line I did today's triathlon in 1hr 25min flat! Not to mention so far this month I've done boot camp, swam a mile (training for the Flowers Sea Swim), and joined a beach volleyball team every Sunday
team name Victorious Secrets!
team name Victorious Secrets! Don't forget the die hard Frisbee games every Friday too!!
My intentions are to hopefully host an Ultimate Frisbee Tournament, July 5th @ Caymana Bay. The triathlon was there today, and honestly it was a beautiful set up for an event. I look forward to planning more on this coming up!
There has also been an addition to our travelling entourage. Nick Frazier will be joining us in our journey, fund raising for a local charity in Texas. I encourage anyone who would view climbing this mountain as difficult as any of us envision it being, or even any other life struggle to attempt to do so! I hope that by accomplishing something this treacherous future youths will join these journeys not only out of adventure, but redemption towards other persons struggles through life. Spreading hope, excitement, longevity towards higher goals!
