I know this is a week after the race but I’ve been very busy so don’t blame me. On June 9th 2007 me and some of my cousins and of course my brother and sister drove to the small little town of Lakside to compete at the next Ontario Cup Series race and the Provincial Team Qualifying Race. Since I had won the last Ontario Cup race I knew everyone was going to be on my butt in this race. Anyway, on to the race. In the 200m swim I knew I had an advantage on my close competitors so I tried get a big lead. I came out of the water second. I hadn’t done this race before and I didn’t know how hilly the bike was. It was terrible. The lead person in front of me (a teamate on my swim team) was starting to pull away and my my two competitors were strong bikers and were gaining on me. Lucky for me the bike ended on a downhill and I cruzed into transition. off the run I could tell I had a faster pace than my swim teammate and I was feeling good. I caught her at one km and started to make a big lead on her after the turnaround. Thats when I got to see where everyone was. One of my competitors was flying and I started to pick up my pace. I was home free once I got past the big turn. I made the Provincial Team and I am still leading the Ontario Cup Series with a lead of fifty points to thirty five. I had a great race even though I really need to work on my run. I have a lot of time to train for my next race so I’ll be ready for it by that time.
