The week blurred away, and today they're traveling to where the competition is being hosted. Dayo was a bit tense, even though he had been training. After all, this was his first time competing in a national team in both his lives.
Richard, who sat beside Dayo, could see that he was a bit tense, which was usual, as first-timers always had nerves — even pro athletes did — so it was quite normal.
"Dayo, are you nervous?"
Dayo smiled and nodded his head. "Yeah, a bit."
Richard gave his usual smile. "Good, then it means you care. So hold on to that feeling."
"Hmmm." Dayo just hummed and kept looking outside as they were about to land, and their destination was Sacramento, California.
Upon landing, the whole of California had a warm day of about 13°C. Dayo, Richard, and Sharon finished their checks and moved to their hotel, which was the official host hotel designated for the competition.
