Greetings Everyone! WOW! What a phenomenal experience. I Jumped on a plane to L.A. tuesday morning from my training camp in georgia, and from the moment I landed I was in paradise. There was a driver there to pick me up, took me to an amazing hotel and I was amongst not only great athletes, but some of the biggest hollywood stars. The award show was amazing, but all of the parties and social events for the athletes and other celebs was my favorite part. I met some incredible people and didnt meet a single person that showed me disrespect. In fact just the opposite. They all showed me alot of respect and were awesome to hang out with. I have some pics I will put up on my profile for you all to check out. Oh I almost forgot... I didnt win; however it was a victory just being there. I had the time of my life. Being treated as one of the A listers that were there was incredible. Being able to meet people you see on TV on a regular basis was surreal. The fact that they were all so down to earth and easy going was even more amazing. I will remember this experience for the rest of my life. Winning would of been great, but I have no bitter feelings about it at all. I'm sure whoever won was qualified and I wish him the best. I will continue intense training and hopefully land myself in the same position next year. I will update you all on the roosevelt cup later today.
