Day 23 - Enhancement Training - A walk to the Niagara Falls - Day 2

Just to remind you guys that we won't be able to upload the photos to the blog until the Monticle Legend team has reached the destination. Unfortunately, one of our beloved teammate, Calvin, could not be able to continue with us because of his painful kneels. After a hefty breakfast nearby the hotel, we called Jerome to pick him up and drive him back to H.Q. As Calvin got back HQ safely, we headed on to Burlington, our first original checkpoint of yesterday. Luckily, we got adapted to long walking, and as the weather is nice and sunny at most time, most of us didn't have any more blisters except Billy, who got a big one at his heel. Moreover, we want to tell you guys that Billy originally got a 3-hour fever during his sleep, and at that moment he almost wanted to cancel the walk and call Jerome to pick us up. However, Billy later on used his superb strong mind to fight against the fever, and finally got recovered once he got up. Billy has exactly showed us how important having a strong mind is. This also shows that Billy always put his students to first priority - or else we have all got back to HQ, or even not starting this legend, because as he said, he got his comfort zone already, so what's the point of pushing himself this way. That's why Billy said he is not the one who push others to break their limit, but the one who is pushed or forced to do so - he wants to train us, the future leaders of next generation.

Today we had travelled approximately 46 km, and just have 60 more to go. To repeat, we went as a team, we will finish it as a team. So far, everybody has done a good job, even though we got muscle pain or hotspots, we sucked it up and carry on. Therefore, we believed we could be able to use our strong mind to maintain the momentum of walking 14 hours non-stop, get changed to our Monticle shirt and slap couple pictures in front of the Horseshoe Falls and so on. Hopefully, everybody will be very proud of us.

PS Thank you for all your support, especially May-Yee, Samantha, Steve and Tammy. Furthermore thank you Calvin for searching us several motels around Stoney Creek. Or else we might have kept walking overnight until tomorrow noon to reach the Falla. We won't forget you buddy. Hopefully you could go again with Billy in the future. Don't be upset, you have made 50 km already anyway. Don't say that you don't have a strong body, but you will know more once you have reached the Falls. Last but not least, we originally got nothing to eat for dinner, but luckily Billy had ordered a luxury dinner delivery for us. Thank you so much, Billy!
