NICA California State Championships

For the final high school race of 2014 it was back down to the sand and wind of Laguna Seca Raceway near Monterey, California.


After the cool temperature, tacky dirt, and lush forests of Boggs Mountain it was a shock back to more painful side of racing when we showed up to the California State Champs, the course started with lay it all out paved climb into a steep lose singetrack that could make or break your race, after this a fast downhill got your heart rat down, then you hit "hurl hill" a few mile long climb mainly on fire road where racers faced steep grades and relentless soul sucking wind after this it was time to back around again.  Despite not being my favorite race course I still managed to come out fifth in a field of around 70 competitive racers.


The 2014 Sophomore D1 podium for the entire state of California, there was a lot of fast guys out there.
