The Calm before the storm

The time is quickly approaching to board a plane and fly to my first ever Senior World Championships in Budapest, Hungary. 
On Monday September 16th I will depart for this epic event and I cannot believe how fast this summer has blown by!

As I am alluding to in the title of this blog, I feel very much in the calm before the storm, simply waiting for the clock to countdown. My effort over, truthfully the last 7 years since living in Calgary has been building towards this day. I have always taken a go hard everyday kind of attitude and all those long, hard hours on the mats and in the gym will culminate in this one day competition.

I feel "calm" because I know I have worked hard building into this event and that the hard work will carry me through. From this point forward, it's about keeping myself sane and positive. I am lucky to have a network of support to rely on and keep me thinking positively as I approach this competition. 

Things have been great going forward. I have been reflecting on the international summer season and the craziness it was for me... this included missing flights, losing luggage, and sleeping in for matches. And I've come to realize that these things do sometimes happen and even though I have definitely shed some tears of frustration; it all works out in the end the way He intended! 

In the days leading up to the flight, I will be keeping my schedule pretty much the same and focusing all my energy keeping healthy and happy. 

I plan on writing another blog in the days leading up to the world championships. I weigh in on the 19th and compete on the 20th and I am so excited to go out and wrestle!
