So nothing too crazy here, but wanted to give you a quick glance of what its like when riding up to the Belgian meets. Also, its cool to see what the track is like. Its not a super huge venue but they have some different amenities that we do not have in the US.
My favorite part is that there is always music playing and they turn it up pretty loud in between events. It keeps the blood pumping and you forget that you are waiting for the next race to begin!

Not all the athletes in Leuven are with Flynn. There is about half that are with Mark Block/Chris Layne (Total Sports Management). Here's the website...http://www.totalsportsus.com/athletes.html. So there is a handful of those guys like Stephen Pifer, Billy Nelson, Scott Overall, Nicole Teter, etc.... There are some people in Leuven that have no representation and are here on their own will and $. Then there are others staying in Leuven that aren't staying at the dorms but other places around town. So its a mix of athletes with different agents and those with no agents. There are buses set up for everyone to ride down to these meets. And heads up, Heusden Meet is tonight!! Thats where everyone ran fast last year so watch out!!!
Why'd you stop racing in a speedsuit?
And Honey Claws makes sick beats.
1. put names of athletes on the screen - for example when they're filing off the bus there are a lot of folks we dont all recognize...get names like you're the yearbook nerd. I know it's work, but we'd love it.
2. Talk to the sprinters and jumpers on the bus (and at the meets). Look, I know they're weird and all (I'm a distance runner, too), but they won't bite. You'll get some interesting stories and insight into the other 75% of what's happening at a track meet.
