Here's a shot of the swanky accommodations we had on site. The tent came in very, very handy later in the day. You can see Cimbura is enjoying the Sunday Times after his racing was done for the day. With the course being a full two miles, we experienced gaps in the action for about 5 minutes at a time.
Mike and Alex discuss tactics between Alex's multiple races of the day.
Coached under the principle of "to finish first, you must first finish", Alex prepares for his second race of the day.
Armed with a mimosa, Leonard prepared to finish his second biscuit of the day, while Cimbura looks on sternly.
We have track jackets, shhhhhhh! Martel gets ready for the main event, the 35+ race.
Chuck outlines the strategy which was something along the lines of "to finish first, you must first finish" . . . to which Martel responded by simply rolling up his sleeves and getting to work.
Mid-race, Martel stopped in for a beer and a biscuit, before getting back out there to help Chuck to a 2nd place finish. He didn't want to get mustard on his skinsuit . . .
From sunshine and good times to . . .
Being the good sport that he is, Chip was still all smiles, despite having spent the past few laps getting pelted by marble sized, frozen projectiles.
Thanks to everybody who came out to watch, help, eat, hang out, and help some more. Chris Kopp gets an extra thumbs up for helping me load everything back into the team truck at the end of the day. He spent the better part of the day out cheering on teammates and representing well all the way around. This was one of the last "free" weekends for me until August when I'll be in full prep mode for Masters Worlds . . . it was enjoyable though.
