One reason I like coaching is the effort in the work I see the athletes put in. I think this is also a big reason people who like to watch and follow these sorts of sports like them.
Brendan Biac, Susan Vigland and Spencer Drenzy topped the standings at the 2009 Michigan Cup Sprints under warm and sunny skies.
This race was my introduction to the MI Cup racing series. Rather than race, I decided to take pictures and be race support for my teammates. It was fun to experience the other side of racing... Enjoy!
