Team Mate...


25 years ago I did my first race.  A Crit.  In Pensacola, Florida as part of the Festival of Speed.  Masters 35+.   I took 2nd in a photo finish on a boulevard lined with people.   It was, without a doubt, one of the most exhilarating experiences of my sporting life.   In the past 25 years I have not won one race.  2nd, 3rd, top 5, top 10 yes many times but never a first….

Until  yesterday….. at the NC State RR Championships…… 



In the blistering heat that saw our heart rates rocket to new highs, and an effort that tested our will to continue, the DS kept me going … pulled me, cajoled me, kept me calm, and then blocked for me a mile out so I could solo across as the NC 60+ state champion. 

That win is every bit as much Randall’s as it is mine.  It would not have happened without his support.  A great team mate.  

Thanks Randall.

Is it sweeter to push hard for 25 yrs. and not just win your first race, but win as the state champion? Nice job.
