Wow! It has been quite a busy past few days. Where do I start..... Well I left for Monterey on thursday and the plane filght there was quite boring and mondane nothing special. Got to CA ok and Matt picked me up and we headed off to Laguna Seca Race track, where the venue was. We ended up rolling in a bit late and we were supposed to find the compound of where our old high school team was camping, but it was about 11:30pm and we couldn't find anyone in the dark and I am sure no one liked it much that we were shining out lights into thier camps that late so we just kinda found a spot that looked cosey and just acted like we belonged hoping no one would say anything about the credentails that we didn't have to camp there.
The next morning we found out real campsite... it was pretty cool there were about 15 of us all camping in the same area and that ment a lot of moms that like to cook really good food! SCORE! So we road the course which was in prime condition came back and watch our buddy Nate score a 5th in the Jr. X Short track! NICE!
It is now Saturday the day of my short track race. Today was definetly not anywhere close to as nice as firday actually Sat. we got terential down pours! crazy winds and just mayhame. So I got ready for a mud fest. The only thing was they kept pushing back our race time! first 11am then 11:40 then 11:45 by the time 11:45 rolled aruond we had gotten to the start line finished out warm ups and ready ready to go....when they announced "OH yeah the race has been postponed until 2:45pm!!" So now we are all ready to go haven't eaten anything and have to wait another 3 hours! LAME! So I spent the majority of that time getting dry and warm from just beeing ing the raing for a total of 5 min. Once the race came around it was just a mudd slog fest and didn't go so well 16th for me on the day.
Suday was the long race. Beautiful day but really windy, but beautiful none the less had a real good start and was sitting pretty high comming into the 2nd of 2 19 mile laps but poped really hard at the end and just limmped on home... oh well.
I'll give more details later I gotta get ready for class. Late.
