yesterday I was a bike rider...

Tonight, I became a competitive cyclist.

I got 3RD and a bronze medal during the AP Finals at the Valley Preferred Cycling Center (Formally Lehigh Valley Velodrome) in my Adults category (19-39 year olds). I was up against 8 or 9 other cyclists, 3 or 4 of which I was to be concerned about being about the same strength as me or stronger. I almost got beaten by another guy, but just at the end I gave a few hard pushes to inch away from him, I just barely beat him by an inch or so.

Pictures will come in the next few days when they are put on the velodrome's website and when my dad runs the pictures from the camera to the computer.

New Dream: become a pro track rider at the Friday Nights in 5 years!
