Breast Cancer 3-Day 2007 Day One Arrival |Opening Ceremony | First Steps

DAY ONE – Friday, August 24, 2007
Arrival - I woke up at 3:00am to get ready for the morning, eat breakfast, a last-minute check of my gear and pack up the truck. I was on the road by 4:00am – no “normal” people were up at this time. Picked up my teammates, Angie, Deanna and Chris at Chris’ house in Inver Grove at 4:30am. Everyone looked tired, but excited to begin! We began our venture out to Coon Rapids, where opening ceremonies and the starting line resided for the 2007 Twin Cities Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk. When we pulled up to the Anoka-Ramsey Community College the line of cars dropping off walkers was miles long and we hit the lot – jumped out, grabbed gear and GO! With all of our bags marked with our name and tent number, we dropped off our gear at our gear truck (gear truck F) and made our way to the ceremony stage. You could tell we were all a little nervous, and maybe not yet fully awake. The venture officially began as we walked into the holding area - as a team!
