At first I thought - Chula Vista? Land must be cheap. While that may be, the Olympic training center is an awesome place. Sean and I went to the Nationals. Sean raced - a little bit more on that to follow. The track is awesome, bigger, faster and better groomed than that what we are used to. It is the 4th track Sean has raced on. First, a shout out to Morning Ride - John took the time to give Sean's wheels a "truing". Second we met a new family, the Spot's. They are from the central valley. Their son, Brodie is a 7 expert, fast and sponsored by Clayborn. They are a class act, very helpful and we look forward to hopefully furthering a friendship with them. Sean's day was good and bad. Only being his 2nd race since May combined with no practice on this monstrous track, the nerves over took him. He didn't transfer in the 2 rounds needed to qualify. We talked about 2 lessons learned - 1. NEVER GIVE UP - Fight to the finish. He crashed in the second round going for it to pass 2nd place to qualify. 2. Everyone rides the same track and it is just another race. What a great day. I am going to organize a trip in the near future as they will be racing there regularly. You all come to the next one.
