Aside from being exhausted and worn out from training nearly 6 hours a day, I was excited to come home and just sit on the couch. That is after all where I started right? I think at one point your body says okay it’s time to shut down for just a second so that we can start again from scratch.
I decided that I would give my body a two day rest period and would start on Monday. That Monday I packed my gym bag along with my work stuff and headed off to the office. To me it was a normal work day but to my Sprint office it was a day that the athlete with good news. I was shocked to see my desk covered in RED WHITE AND BLUE. I was the real American hero I have always dreamed of being.
Above my desk was the Olympic rings framed by American flags and patriotic balloons. Right next to my keyboard was a box of Wheaties with a make shift picture of me doing the skeleton. One of my favorite things was the poster size picture of me holding my helmet surrounded by all the pictures I took on my trip up to Lake Placid. To add to thoughtfulness they bought an assortment of fruits and vegetables knowing that I am a health fanatic. They did this all to celebrate my accomplishments at the training camp.
I have to say I am not as creative as the people in my office to have come up with such a things. It definitely brought a tear to my eye. To see my Sprint Team get together and do something for me was beyond words.
