Maintaining our standard; that's our challenge day-in and day-out.

I'm obligated to operate and maintain the canal. Maintaining it and bringing it up to some high standard are two different issues.

This is a tough walk when it's firm and perfect on a perfect day. It'll be a challenge.

We've already failed one challenge. Not so much on the scoreboard, but the way we performed that day.

The bike challenge is sort of a modern day Lewis and Clark. And I get to spend a few more months with my buds from college.

I think about it at all times of the day, ... It's definitely sunk in. I'm accepting the challenge, I can't wait to get there and I think we're going to be ready.
