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...
