After months of training and preparation, we are finally only hours away from leaving for one of the best experiences of our lives. Our team will be leaving from both Newark, NJ and Los Angeles, CA as we head toward our final destination of Tel Aviv, Israel. Recent days have been quite stressful as we've been coordinating packing clothes and bikes and other equipment, but this is a very exciting time for our team as none of us have been able to meet each other. Over the past few months we have been coordinating workouts, what to bring and other race details in our Facebook group but to finally be able to meet each other is a very exciting time.
We have no idea what to expect one we land and see the swarm of athletes from the US and from around the world. Our journey will being with the IsraelConnect program which will take place the first week we get there. The program is designed for teammates to get to know each other better through various days trips and tours around the country. Swimming in the Dead Sea and hiking up Masada will be some of the most exciting parts. With time to train every morning, this is the perfect way to acclimate to the environment and stay loose before the Maccabiah Opening Ceremony on July 17th. Stay tuned for more updates and LOTS of pictures as our adventures are about to begin!
