The latest addition to my pain cave wall arrived today, the 2025 Sweatfest champion rubber chicken! It’s taken 84 races over the last 5 years to finally have a winter indoor race season come together and win a rubber chicken. I’m surprisingly pleased with how satisfying it feels. Apex Tucson camp made all the difference to boost my fitness enough to consistently podium all the races following it.

There was a nice variety of races over the season with the best 8 results counting for the season. A consistent group of regulars showed up each Tuesday afternoon and it was a lot of fun to battle it out each week with both WSBA locals and racers scattered around the world.
