Wilmy dump but really the greatest appreciation post for the bestest people 🥹

I cannot express how happy this past weekend made me. Going into it I knew I was excited to see my friends compete and all, but really couldn’t have anticipated how their performance would’ve made me feel. I feel it in my freaking heart.. they all did abso-freaking-lutely amazing and made me so proud. It was clear the work they put into this prep, all the highs, lows, and in between, they kept showing up for this moment. It itched a part of my brain I didn’t know needed scratching.

The community we continue to build makes it all worth it. Yes you can go to the gym all the time for your own well being or sanity, but it’s the people you get to surround yourself with that get you to keep showing up. Whether it’s a silly lil gym crush or a friend you get to see for one of the few hours of the day/week, we continue to show up.

Enjoy the process and trust it. This is what it’s all about. You put in what you wish to get out. The blood, sweat, and tears you put into this sport all to come down to this moment.

Before my first meet, I remember @thebeltlesshero telling me that “you only get your first meet once so go out there and have fun, show them all the work you’ve been putting into your training” (well something along those lines, but it truly stuck with me) I really got to see all these athletes do just that this weekend from a different perspective.

This is more than just being on a “team” in an individual sport, it becomes so freaking support and community filled which is just what we need as humans. The support and energy that this team brings for one another is what it’s all about. I’m already itching for more…. I truly love this team. Thanks @zachhammatc for making it what it is, I can’t wait to see it continue to grow 🥹🫶
