BMX: 2015 Carolina Nationals

My teammate and I prepared to take on the Carolina Nationals at this amazing facility down in South Carolina! 

     On March 20-22 I participated in the Carolina Nationals held in Rock Hill, SC. The weekend started with some beautiful weather for the practice day on Friday. But unfortunately, the race weekend did not start the same. I took a nasty crash in my first round Saturday, but still competed, even with being sore,the rest of the weekend. I came away with a couple of 5th place finishes and a very sore and bruised hip. Although it was not my best results, I now know what I need to work on and you can never help crashes! It was overall a fun weekend filled even though I came home with sun burn, some bruises, and some not so great finishes. But that's okay. On to training for the next one next month in Georgia!

Here's a race picture from my main event on Saturday! 

HOLI

On March 8th, some of my friends and I got together and participated in Holi, an Indian holiday. It is a spring festival celebrated originally by Hindus, and many others now. It is known as the festival of colors as you get lots of colors thrown on you. It was a lot of fun participating and "playing" Holi as they refer to it. After playing for a few hours, we ate lunch, which was a lot of traditional, vegetarian indian dishes. It was a great opportunity as I got to experience their culture and have a lot of fun while doing so. Here are some pictures!
