Quotes
"My goal was just to finish, just to cross the finish line"
"It is difficult to race if you don’t get yourself prepared for it, logistically and financially and all those other elements"
"I’m just following the opportunities that I see arise. My plan is formulating as I learn what’s available"
"It’s the right place at the right time"
"I really love this activity and the sport and I love the community behind it and being involved in this phase"
"I didn’t look at them so much as challenges, I just look at them as things I had to get done to get to where I wanted to go"
"I’ve trained myself to look at the new positive life as supposed to like a wall that’s in my way"
"Don’t compete with anybody beyond your capability. Just do what you can and the time that you can, to have that motivation to keep going"
"If you have a good intention and what you want to do is a good thing for yourself and others, then you just follow your instincts"
"Obstacles are just lessons that are there for you to learn on your way to do whatever you are meant to do"
"Everything has a reason, everything has a purpose so as long as your intentions are good, something is calling you naturally, then you should go for it"
