Just kidding but not really.<BR/><BR/>btw, did you end up chamois or no chamois?

It was as much your mental preparation as your physical that pulled you through this ordeal. <BR/><BR/>I love Yogi Berra-isms, and I think a couple are appropriate for your situation. For example: "Ninety percent of this game is half mental." Or, "The future ain't what it used to be."<BR/><BR/>It is reported that one time the the famous Western novel author Louis L'Amour was typing furiously away, and his little daughter asked him why he was typing so fast. He replied that he was typing quickly because he wanted to see how the story ended.

Bravery is not the absense of fear, but moving forward to in spite of your fears.<BR/><BR/>At this point it would have been easy for you to scratch.

Instead, you made yourself ready, physically and psychologically, and went out on the trail to get on with your business.<BR/><BR/>All your planning, preparation, and training made you perfectly ready for this moment.
