Felines & Canines

Crash may have said it best: Ya win some, ya lose some and sometimes ya get rained out. Today, in Sad Diego, of all places, we got morosely rained out. From the very second that I stepped outside the bag o' fleas motel, till the minute that we returned from a 101 mile traverse of the course, it rained felines and canines. Wiped clean any chance whatsoever of RCV footage.

I feel your pain. Indeed it is mine also. We did, on a brighter note, shoot almost an hour of highlight material including the obligatory money shot wave start, and several of the more scenic sections of the ride. Even had a chance to put the GoPro thru its initial outdoor in the rain test, so who knows, with any luck at all, we might come away with something that might make a nice 60 minute training ride. Or a killer promo spot at worst. We'll have to wait until tomorrow to take a look at all the video, because, quite honestly folks, I am cooked. Poor RCVman tossed and turned all night listening to the sounds of the evening rain and trying to come up with a miracle Plan B. No REMs coupled with a nine hour shoot, and you have the recipe for fatigue. I got it and I got it good. I will try to have some video up by mid-week so you can really see (almost feel) what it was like here today.

I will leave you with a few pix of yesterday and today, as I begin the load out for tomorrows 0800 flight back to the Emerald City where the chances are good there will be more in the petstore. Felines and canines.
