First Win!

Hey All -
Thought I would share my second road race ever resulted in a first place finish! It was 40 degrees and raining - the typical Northwest racing weather. The best part? My mom witnessed my first win and filmed the finish line on camera. At the 200m mark I started sprinting and looked back at 100m to go expecting someone on my tail - and no one was! I pulled through the finish line with one hand on the handle bars and stopped pedaling. And then my mom realizes it's me...

Awesome!!! Huge congratulations - I admire and applaud your accomplishment! Having two of my three 'boys' participate in sports I can totally relate to your mom's reaction. Gave me a chuckle picturing the eye rolling I would get if my son's could have seen that video!

Way to go
