I was shocked to I receive an invitation to train at the Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center (formerly the Olympic Training Center). I was able to clear my scheduled and I flew out on April 5. It was a blast. I felt so honored to be around so many Paralympians. My roommate was Alexa Halko, who won three medals in Rio. Others who were there included Paralympians Cheri Madsen, Erik Hightower, Gianfranco Iannotta, Rachel Morrison, David Brown, Markeith Price, Mikey Brannigan, Ayden Jent, Femita Ayanbeku among others. It was normal there to sit down at lunch with world record holders. It was fun introducing myself all week long. We trained twice a day almost every day. There were reminders all over the campus that this was where the Olympic and Paralympic team trained. After the intense training, we headed to the Mt. SAC Relays. It was nice to race the same people that I had been training next to all week long.
