Heading off to Nationals!
Well, we are leaving tomorrow morning to go to LA for Junior Track Nationals. I think that I am racing on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. It has been a long summer, and I have ridden my bike more than I ever have in my life! Coach Leigh made us do the normal practices twice a week, but we also had motorpacing twice a week for the last month as well. Also, my dad and I did a lot of travelling for crits here in the state. I think I did 7 or 8 of them this summer, along with the normal track stuff. The last three weekends have been some kind of state championship with crits, time trials and Elite regionals down at the track. Part of me is a bit tired from all the training, but another part of me knows that I am in the best shape ever. I am surprised I didn't die from heat exhaustion! It has been freaking HOT! LOL!
I'm excited about nationals because I think I trained hard and want to do the best that I can do. I am in a new age group, so I know it won't be like last year when I finished 5th. One of my friends from the Frisco track who finished third last year, Noah, is going as well, along with a whole bunch of other juniors, so I hope we get a bunch of medals. Thanks to my parents and my family for cheering me on. Thanks to Ms Walker and the older juniors at the track who help me out. Oh, thanks to my sponsors MotorTabs and Fluid. I just got refills of both for nationals and I really, really like them. The Lemon-Lime and Orange MotorTabs are the best!
I think my dad is taking the camera and computer to nationals, so maybe we will get some pics posted while we are there.
