The un-expected first place

I'm in the gate, the adrenaline rushing through my veins causing a cold chill to go up my spine. I know who i am racing and I know I cannot beat them. I look around down the first straight and inhale slowly in an attempt to relax. I know I cannot win- these guys have been racing for years and years!

"Okay riders lets set 'em up."

I push down on my clips with my toes- yes, i am clipped in. I know that once that gate drops I'll fall behind- but I still have to try. I look at the tip of the gate. I inhale and exhale again. I can do this.

"On the gate."

This is it. Time's up. I need to do this- i can do this.

"Riders ready, watch the light."

The gate flys down and i watch out of the corner of my eye as the racer next to me slips a pedal. 'WHAT?' I think as i continue to pedal. I keep pedaling, maybe I really can win, but I can see shadows on the ground as i keep pedaling- they may be right behind me. I can feel my muscles starting to burn and my pulse racing, the blood is pounding in my ears. I feel like I'm riding in slow motion...

Which channel is that on Comcast Cable? I want to set up my TiVo!

Once again I bow down in the presence of your literary mastery!

...I can almost feel my legs burning as i pedal around the corner. I can see their shadows behind me. I can't give this up. I have got to do it.

The second straight flys by and I am excited that I am still in first- but how far behind me are they? I don't dare to look back in fear that they may pass me by.

The third straight comes and goes and then....
