I wrote this awhile back but I decided to post recapping a race last season.
That summer day had made itself present as my bladder had me at the bushes every 5 minutes before it began. The cowbells were ringing and waves of riders began their journey as this was my first attempt at this grueling adventure. The long nights of training would pay off if I focused. I went on and made it to the final 5 miles and surprising passing a large amount of people. I blocked everything out of my mind and knew that pain is just weakness leaving the body. My day inevitably came to a close and I wound up winning first place in my age group.
Time to step it up this year riding in the Sport category.
