“The day is finally here. I am ready. Let’s do this.”

“I want my special needs bag. I want my Snickers bar and Coke.”
“Volunteers are awesome!”
“Okay, I just want to talk to someone.”
“If I finish the bike in this time, and run this time, I could break ‘x’ hours.”
“My legs really, really, hurt right now.”
“Why am I doing this?”
