Summer Outings!!

Hello Again! Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying your summer! I know I am!

Last Tuesday a few of the athletes from the training center (mainly my skeleton teammates) went to Balboa Park to watch a local Veledrome cycling race! It was really awesome to see them ride up the wall, you almost don't think its possible! The bikes have no gears and no brakes, and once they stop pedaling the wheels stop and they basically fall over. Good thing everyone kept pedaling when we were watching. Its a great local event though, and Balboa Park looks like a lot of fun, and huge too. So Kate and I will have to go there when she comes out!

Lately I've been giving tours, and hopefully starting my fall semester early. That would be a huge help for when the season comes around. Other than that training is still going great. I am so excited for the week off and joining the family for a vacation in Disney! Its the best place ever! Tomorrow after training we are taking a team trip to the Del Mar race track to spend the day watching the horse races and betting for some people. Not me though my luck I'd go home with no money!

Two of the roommates have gone to Vegas for the weekend so I have my room to myself, just Keslie, Courtney and me to hang out! We went out to PF Changs for dinner because it was Greg's and Keslie's birthday. It was fun we stuffed ourselves because the food hasn't been good here for the past week or so. Still no rain since I've been out here but it just started getting seriously hot! The past week and a half have been extremely humid and much hotter than normal. Everyone says August and September are the hot months of the year and rain comes in October.

I really love it here though, and training is great as I already said. I'm doing so well! But I can't wait at the same time to get back to Lake Placid and see the mountains and hear the thunderstorms again! The lake is calling my name! So is the GAP Outlet though I actually miss working there, its so much fun!

Its time for bed though, lifting in the morning and then the sun and racetrack all day tomorrow! I'll write all about it when I return! Hope everyone has a wonderful night!!
