Wow...I surprised myself!! I went into this thinking I would do 2 maybe 3 laps, I ended up doing 5 laps and had enough time to do a 6th one. I had a great first lap, the second lap was a different story. I crashed on the cinder block climb on PuffNStuff and finished the lap crying. I was ready to quit, but after taking a 5 minute breather and eating a little, I was ready to head back out. On the third lap, my Dad and I decided to slow down our pace. After finishing the third lap, my Mom told me that I was in third place...I was shocked!! While taking a break I saw the fourth place boy pass by, so I hopped on my bike and decided to do another one. After the fourth lap, I was DYING!!! My legs, back, butt, everything hurt!! The kids races are only about 2 to 3 miles long, I DID NOT TRAIN FOR THIS!! So, I was really ready to quit this time. I completed more laps than my original goal and was happy. Ten minutes passed by and I just had to go back out there. In the end... 32 miles and 5 laps later, I made it to the podium for the #3 spot.
I wanted to say thank you to all the racers who kept me motivated. It really helped me on the last couple laps. I liked Jeff too, he was super nice!

After Christmas, we headed to Alabama. I had fun hanging out with my cousins and visiting with my Great Granny.
