Bumbles and Waddles

Today I met Liz at my place and we biked out (against a headwind) to the EMI meeting spot. Wyatt and Ryan were supposed to meet me there–whoops, they changed their minds and didn’t bother to tell me. Boys!!! So, I packed up and biked down to the fairgrounds for the first FCA Endurance Criterium Series Race. Dum dum dum!!! My first race of any kind on a biike!!! Yippee! I got schooled, but I did enjoy myself. Its fun having a community of peeps that think like you do (kind of ) and enjoy the same thing that you do. Ryan did well, placing 7th. He is such a good racer; he looks like a pro to me. He is so patient with me. He did scold me yesterday, and I deserved it. I have a hard time taking criticism–I always have. My dad and I battled for years, and it took me a long time to just shut up and listen, instead of objecting to everything. I was able to get over that, but I have fallen on old habits now that I’m back into the habit of competing. I’m really, really going to try to be a better student!! After the race, me and Ryan stretched out our legs, going for an easy ride down the Greenbelt followed by some sprinting practice. Good day. And then, after all that, I got to go play Frisbee in the park!!!
