Tiger Army and Track World Cup
Busy weekend down here in Sunny SAND Diego. Lot of training along with lots of fun.
I remember about 4 or 5 weeks ago looking at the Tiger Army Myspace page that they had an up coming show in the SD. I wasn't sure if i was going to be moved in yet or even in town. I didn't think about the show till about 9 pm. Friday night. In light conversation with my new roommate Paul from the Mass. I said there was this band, and they had a show at the soma? Paul looked up at me and said, Dude it like a mile away.Before i could say anything he had keys in hand and we were out the door. What can i say, getting to see one of the best Socal bands in Socal was a trip. So stoked i had the chance to hit them up on there home turf.
I did get the chance as per my wonderful Girl friends suggestion to take in a once in a life time Track Cycling World Cup. It was made extra special because its an Olympic year. This meant that almost all the big gun's and worlds finest were out, trying to show there stuff in hopes of make there Olympic dreams come true. That racing was great. I made it to (El EH) L.A. after a good day of training on the coast, and some lifting. The first event was the mens Team pursuit, 1st Aus, 2nd Den, and 3rd Ukn. The team pursuit is so cool the team work and amount of pain is just awesome. That is one trip to the pain cave i'm not sure most cyclist would ever want to make. Next were some Kirin semi's and yes Kirin like the Beer. The event is Japanese and is named for the beer due to them sponsoring the events in Japan the are bet on the horses. After the Kirin there was Womens points race, pretty awesome stuff Marianna Vos, was in the house. See was the world cyclocross and world road champion a year ago at the ripe age or 19. See had a great race and finished 3rd. Two girls took a lap early in the race and the rest of the top women could never get the race back under control. I all so got the see the dead Kilo, and mens 15k skrach race. Thats an easy one to watch, a bunch of dude race 15k and who ever gets to the finish first wins. We had 3 guys in the race Bobby Lea, Colby Pierce, and the elder Kenny Williams. The rode just the Americans do, strong but not savvy. I also was trying to work out the camera thing, i don't get how my sister can do but i cant.
Here are some shitty shots...
