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.
