Sandra's ROCK here.... - I just wanted everyone to know how proud I am of Sandra and her performance at the All Star Classic. We didn't exactly have a smooth trip to Little Rock. Our
actual travel itinerary looked like this:
8am (Thursday) - left Vancouver via car, heading to Seattle
8:30am - arrived at US border
10:30am - crossed the US border (2 hr unexpected delay!!)
12:15pm - arrived at SeaTac Int'l, just missing our 12:45pm flight to Arkansas via Houston
5:55pm - departed for Houston (next available flight)
12:30am (Friday) - arrived in Houston
1:00am to 5:00am - 'slept' in the Houston airport on floor close to (noisy) underground train station
7:00am - departed for Little Rock
9:30am - arrived at the Peabody Hotel in Little Rock, 1 bag 'lost' between Houston and Little Rock
One of the first things I did after checking into our room was to buy Sandra a card at the Peabody gift shop. It simply says:
"
In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity - Albert Einstein"Sandra did nothing but sleep and eat until late afternoon on Friday, we recovered our lost bag and arrived at the 8pm Athlete's Meeting re-energized and refocused. The difficulties were over and y'all know the rest!!
btw Congrats also to Tanji, Julie, Oksana, and Amy. All these women are ALL STARS in their own right.
I want to put a shout out to Rick Lohre and thank him for keeping it real and keeping it fun at the show. I also want to thank Rick for text messaging me more than a teenage girl on the first day of school!! Hope you have an international texting plan dude!!! Rick, UR kewl, ttyl
LMAO All kidding aside, it's great to have other fitness b!tches (FB's) to spend time with at the shows. Rick's vocabulary there by the way. When is that exclusive new clothing line coming out?
Speaking of FB's, Shout out to Michael Elias, Kendra's hubby. It was good meeting you and we are really looking forward to seeing you and Kendra in Santa Susanna Spain in less than 4 weeks. Micheal is the Marketing Director for ALR Industries and really knows his supps so stop by his booth at the Olympia to get hooked up.
Special thanks to Bridgette Murray for joining Sandra and I at the after-after party. Thank God for 24 hr room service and ice cream by the pint delivered right to your door.
