Outdoor Nationals

Alright, I'm here in Colorado once again. This is a nice place for me. All I do is race and skate and think skating. Seems like a vacation almost. I love trials because it's so much racing in so little time. So I love racing and that's cool. Trials are going to be crazy because there is a legitimate field this year unlike last year. In Senior we have all six team members trying out again plus Justin Stelly is going to worlds and Harry Vogel plus Justin Mannon is Senior this year so the competition should be great and we have a lot of others skaters that will be great. It's just nice to have a strong field to keep the paces fast and everything and to make the competition tighter so that we know we'll have a stronger field than last year. Senior women should be lightyears ahead this year. They have I think four of last years team members trying out plus four junior women from last years world team that moved up and Mariah Richardson will be here as well so that gives them nine really competitive women. Hopefully the racing won't be a sight for sore eyes because the last couple of years that's how it was. The junior division are much more wide open. The men have three returning team members and a lot of good competition behind them which should give them a pretty strong field. The jr. ladies have two returning team members but they have a good field behind them as well and a few that will probably stand out.

I think we could have a good trials and a good team this year. Hopefully the rain will hold out so we can get all the racing done on time. Well that's it for now, got an early morning for practice.
