Once I arrived at Sea Otter on Thursday afternoon, I was immediately put to work by Head Race Announcer, Richard Fries. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, it was time for Race Announcer "bootcamp"...start list, check...microphone on and hopefully not infested, check...laps to go, time-in, who is in the break, dude, here comes the field, CHECK! And like that, I was calling the Men's Category 1/2 circuit race. Don't ask me to give you names because I really cannot remember. But for the remainder of my four days at the Sea Otter Classic, it was myself and the others communicating a bundle of information including race schedules, awards presentations, sponsor news and information and yeah, we called races, too.

Monterey, CA - After four days, every type of weather condition you can imagine and even a sad and unfortunate death, I am back from the 2008 Sea Otter. This year marked the 18th edition of this early season cycling festival dubbed "A Celebration of Sport." There is truly nothing like it anywhere. One of the most famous race tracks in the world, Laguna Seca is transformed into a veritable cycling village for four days with every discipline of our sport represented to the fullest.
I was among a group of seven that were asked to take part in this race annuncer bootcamp. And trust me, it felt like work all weekend. Albeit a labor of love.
