California racing

Well school has been over with for a while now which I am totally physched about, and I actually had my best semester yet somehow? training has been going well and has finally paid off. The races in California went well I still wasn't able to top my best result but I still had some really good consistant races. Aside from staying really far from the venue in Santa Maria where the 3 of us 3-Ders were the only crackers and the mandatory fiestas that started at 12am sharp and ended promptly at 4am. I finally bucked up and bought my first pair of ear plugs so I could sleep. Anyways I was able to accomplish my goal of placing top 25 in all the national races. In Santa Ynez I was 21st a pretty respectable result and I also finished a short track which I think was the biggest result. Now I know what it feels like and I don't think i really like staying in for 25 minutes, every time i came through the start finish I was in so much pain and I would look at frosty hoping he would pull me but he never did which I guess is a good thing. During the break between the two Cali races i went and stayed at Austins' house living it up in the OC for a few days until I made my way down to Fontana where the Semis out number the population of Ontario and Fontana combined. The races there were a little faster with everybody being there but I still managed to place 24th. I feel as if it was a better results because the whole field was their and I also didn't race like a vagina. There was only one mishap that slowed down my performance and that was catching my crotchal region on my seat and tearing away at my manhood and shorts. Luckily I only lost the group I was with and was able to hold on to a top 25. The next day in the short track a total cluster fuck I was able to have a really good 10 minutes riding in the top 25 then completely mushroom clouding and falling back to 30th finishing 20 minutes of the 25 minute race. All in all it was a good trip and hopefully something to build on for a top 15 at Nationals.

Oh yea the bear has almost cleared out of the Den and heading his himself back to NY and the new replacement is moving in soon. we'll miss our little bear ending our 4 year room mate stint.

Talk about your close calls.
