It was a cool Sat­ur­day morn­ing in the woods in the appro­pri­ately named town of Wood­side. I was excited, but not overly – I had been prac­tic­ing and train­ing for this moment for a long, long time. In a way, I had been wait­ing for this day ever since I was a teenager. I spent count­less days dream­ing of how amaz­ing it would feel. Espe­cially at the end, after all of my hard work paid off.
