    ThursdayJust a general run through of races one through seven. As well some light conditioning
    FridayI got some stomach bug so I ended up taking a sick day I just stayed in bed all day and pretty much watch TV for 15 hours.
    SaturdayPretty much a travel day, as well as an agenda run through, we did no actual work, just finalizing where we should be and when.
    SundayWe played the LA rain in Long Beach, there were a lot of ups and downs, but we were fortunate enough to come out with the win. 
    It came down to the final race and they threw their challenge flag so we had to redo the last four elements and Valerie Calhoun and Danny Nichols really stood out, they both came through in a big way for us. 
    Had we executed everything perfectly and maybe had some better strategies on certain races it wouldn't have been such a nailbiter.  Overall though I'm pleased with how we performed.
    Monday

    After the flight I got home and took a nap, I ended up sleeping for three hours. The plan was to go for a hike, a nice recovery hike so me and my roommate Brandon ended up hiking Camelback Mountain, it was definitely not a recovery hike! It was an amazing view at the top, but that was one of the hardest hikes of ever done! It took us about an hour and 20 minutes to get to the top and then another hour down.
