day 1
OVERALL RATING
This was DAY 1.....when I fell in love with this sport. I look back now and remember thinking what the hell are you doing Jill, you don't belong on stage amongst some of Saskatchewans greatest (aka. @davonneclinton). I had no clue in fact what I was doing nor that I even remotely had the potential to take home a win and an overall at my first show. I went in with one expectation...don't fall on your face while wearing heels and dental floss!!! Expectation met and then some. I remember the exhilaration that came from feeling those lights on my skin, hearing my loved ones call my name, seeing my coaches face light up and above all the rush that came with knowing I MADE IT. Since then I got lost a few times along the way, competed for the wrong reasons, traveled down some unnecessary and drastic paths and still came out alive. This time I'm going back to that original expectation...no, not to fall but to finish knowing that I gave every ounce of heart that circumstance pending I could give...and with that said I'll always be a champ in the heart of the only mind that matters... MINE.
