The last dance wasn’t amazing because they won in the end (that was the icing on the cake). It was amazing because they knew it would end and they gave everything they had in the face of adversity, fatigue and expectation.
Long days practicing, long days travelling. Personally even without the international; the level of consistency has to be commended.
Really proud of the efforts this year from everyone. There were some great moments where the ghosts of future past were pushing us to greater heights rather than being that weight on our backs.
The abruptness of the journey ending overnight is somewhat abrasive. There is something about that driving force of purpose and aspiration. We failed two days short of our ultimate goal but the finish line was in sight so I hope that gives us solace that it was possible and more importantly that every sacrifice was worth it.
Hopefully get to attempt the climb again next year.

"You get this feeling as a competitor when the journey's over like time freezes for a second. I was just looking around, soaking it all in one last time and looking at my boys."

big thanks to all the fans, it really is a blessing to be able to play in the biggest arena infront of the biggest crowds when they give so much love. The worst part is never knowing when you’ll be back, but I know I’ll be back eventually.
