California is so awesome this year! It’s been a couple days since the race, but for like the 5^th time this year, we have had the chance to race on a weekend after heavy rain! It’s awesome!!!  Leading up to the race though, it was a couple days of stressful preparation!

After a week of heavy rain I think everyone in California was looking forward to a weekend in the desert! I knew that it was an important week of training, but come Thursday morning, once the truck was loaded, it was time to have fun and do what I had been working for all month long.

Three months ago, when the doctor told me I was sick with a severe flu and unable to race, I was very upset. I knew that my season was at risk and all of the hard work that had been done might go to waste. 

Unfortunately I was unable to continue racing and had to forfeit any chances I had at a number 1 plate.  In November, once my body was somewhat back to normal, I made the decision that I was going to be the best desert racer on the west coast. I want to win a national hare and hound, and I knew that I needed to train hard for that to happen. This weekend at the Jackrabbits Hare and Hound, round one of the District 37 desert series I proved that I was ready for the task.
