just like when we clinched the championship and the stadium erupted, standing at the summit after a grueling mountain climb, i feel on top of the world. i want to negate any doubts people had about our determination, and i believe our journey to the peak is much like recommencing with a new vision—focused and undetectable amidst the vast wilderness. all the foregoing reviews of the trails didn't capture the raw beauty we experienced, proving once again that some victories, like the best paths up a mountain, are discovered, not described.
