To Family & Friends,
What a blast and the end result made the sacrifice worth it.
Flirting with disaster, chasing victory, experiencing defeat and
coming away with a Bronze Medal.
Along the way, team mates kept saying, "Boy do you have a
shiner." and I never even felt when it happened.
To wear the USA colors, watch the flag go up (not with the
anthem) and stand on the podium was a dream come true.
And for those who know Russia and wrestling, it was visiting the
"motherland" of the sport.
Again, as meaningful as it is to me, to be able to share with
you who clapped along the way... thank you.
It makes it so much more special.
