8:30am EST - 8.27.10: Well, my ass is now in Indy for the second time this year for the second US stop for the world class MotoGP series. I am huge MotoGP fan and love shooting at these events, but this is my first time shooting MotoGP at the Indy Raceway.

Was able to interview top American Ben Spies in the Pagota and Jorge Lorenzo in the Rolling O Lab. The Lorenzo piece will run in the first issue of One Icon - a branded interactive magazine I am launching for Oakley in October.

As for training with my left leg still being an issue, I have resorted to training in the gym by doing cardio and swimming. It's been a nice change of pace, but I am worried my times will fall off.

Only good part is that my buddy Welchy lined me up with a specialist Dan Selstad to work on my left shin, and he states he can get it back into operational shape for the marathon - man to hope and pray he is right because right now it kills.
