One week to go…

Decided to sit down and gather some of my thoughts….

Its a week til my first really big race.  I’m easily in the best shape of my life, have never been more prepared for something than I am right now.  I fly out thursday morning for an adventure like I have never been on.  Sure Ive been involved in a world championship event with Phantom Regiment, but that was as an entire drumcorps… This is just me.  Its quite humbling, and exciting the oppurtunity I have been given.

I’ve never been to las Vegas, and knowing my history and where I have been, this usually would be a trip that would involve nothing but partying and debauchery.  The idea of that right now actually dis-interests me more than anything.  I guess that means i’m growing up.  When i get back from Vegas, it will be 7 months to the day without alcohol.  Something I never thought I would be able to do, and also a huge reason behind my success.  It was a huge anchor that has really held me back.  I’m kinda kicking myself for not realizing that earlier.  Just happy that I could get away from it before it really messed my life up.  I’m on the right track, school is finally moving along properly, I have a great group of friends, some of whom are even coming to the race this weekend, and I’m doing something I love, and the fastest Ive ever been in my life and only getting faster….

This ones pretty short, but there will be updates daily once I land in Vegas… Looking forward to a fun adventure in Sin City…. 🙂
