Last week! For allyuh who doh know, we fly to Copenhagen on Oct. 11.
It’s been long…or has it been short…I can’t really tell anymore but the time is here! We goin to go to de place where we was tryin to go to all de time: World Championships……
It’s the last week, and I have been trying to keep calm.
It’s not a nervousness at all, more like a burning anticipation, the realization that you can finally fulfill a desire. It’s one of those all encompassing feelings that becomes molded into everything you do.
The time for me to build more technique is past. I have been just devoutly trying to develop strategy and master my present capabilities. Speed, timing, distance…sprints, plyometrics, cardio…these are my staple training diet right now.
You would think that I should be getting more rest. But really I am just hyper sensitive–ready to kick on a dime! I kick in my sleep (when i happen to sleep). I kick for breakfast. I kick for lunch….
I see a man passing in the street and I wonder to myself “Ah wonder if ah cud kick him from dis angle?” That’s the all encompassing feeling I am talking about.
The time is near….and we have worked hard. I am proud to be so close, excited to be at a dream, in awe of how far we have come. This is for me! This is my sport! I won’t regret a moment!
