And Then There was ONE. Fly Out Tomorrow.

It is always an honour and priviledge to represent your country and wear USA across your chest.
A childhood Dream to be an Olympian!

Tomorrow we fly to Pittsburgh to represent the great state of Arizona.
This Year for the first time the Team will be a main force in the overall competition.
Watch out PIT here we come.

"FEAR THE ZONIES."

Last night was our Zonie Pre Games Party.
What a great cast of characters and a good time.
The Competitions are Tough and Fun as everyone wants to be U.S. National TX Champ but it is really all about the People.

How special to spend a week with your Extended TX Family.

All there to Celebrate "The Gift of Life."


Thank You Brady!
We will Laugh, Cry, Simile, Joke and have a Way Large Good Time.

Two Days To Go. So Far So Good.






With only Two Days Left before leaving for our US Games, so far all goes well.
Above are a few shots from our time at the Beach in Pattaya after two weeks in Bangkok for the Worlds. It is hard to imagine a Year has passed. After the Beach we spent another week back in Bangkok as Tourists seeing all the sites.
Hope to get out on the Bike early tomorrow. With the Monsoon season here it has been hot and humid. Strange idea for most when you talk desert. Perfect to prepare for maybe 80 & humid in Pit.
Hope to get in the Pool in the PM tomorrow.
Then Team AZ meeting at 5:30 PM. Can the Zonies pull it off?
Tune in next week.
