Some gear restructuring...

So, I found out that the Empire State Olympic game has been canceled all together. There would be no qualifiers in NYC. Is a shame. Apparently, NYS is too broke to sponsor it. The game isn't attractive enough to lure more corporate sponsors. Looks like a slow month of June in NYC. I have some times to restructure my gear. The Sigma lens isn't working too well as I expected. Auto focusing is too slow for races. Just working out some gear replacements before late June. The next big race is the Harlem Skyscraper Criterium. I need to workout some logistic issue to shoot this race. I may actually need to bring out my BIG GUN, 500L, for this. How do I get around the race course carrying a 8lb lens?? I may not need to if I will have the gear that I need.
