Unforgettable experience at the NCCMA Regional Championships! š
This competition was just a beginning for me. I kept reminding myself that I wasnāt there to win, but to show that itās never too late, youāre never too old, and everything is possible. Who cares if people doubt or make fun of you? The most important lesson is that on the other side of fear and doubt is where the magic happens.
My goals were simple: have a good time, make new friendships, and aim for personal records. Iām incredibly grateful that I leave with many new friends from different countries, a PR in all my races, a gold and a bronze medal, and the incredible honor of reading the Athlete Oath in both English and Spanish at the Opening Ceremony.
I also attended a beautiful mass for my father and had wonderful moments with family and friends. I am beyond grateful for this journey and canāt wait to continue growing, learning, training, and competing (and traveling)!
A huge thank you to everyone who made this possibleāyour support means the world to me. Beyond grateful! šāØā¤ļø
