What a weekend!
What a weekend!
The entire team did really well, proud of you all!
We're going to talk about results, but I'll be honest with you I don't remember much about results from my youth sports days. I remember my friends, cheering, working hard, and learning many lessons that I still remember to this day, but the results are much less important. That doesn't mean it's not fun to win, it is. It just means that if it's only about results you'll be disappointed because most races don't end in a podium. So keep challenging yourself, cheer for your teammates, and enjoy what, in my opinion, is a very unique experience that you'll probably never have again. Have fun with it!
With that said, congratulations to the middle school team taking home 1st place on the team podium! I love seeing everyone supporting each other and cheering on your teammates, keep it up!
Our podium list has grown from last week:
James Thomas - 1st
Viana Garland - 2nd
Sophia Black - 3rd
Jack Childers - 3rd
Lauren Yates - 3rd
JP Price - 3rd
London Merchant - 4th
Rachel Reynolds - 5th
Henry Dumond - 5th
I'm honestly floored, but I shouldn't be! Everyone has been working really hard and it's paying off, congratulations!
Overall we put 29 riders on the line, 9 ended up on the podium, 13 finished in the top ten, and the team finished generally around 27% of the field (median). Really, really well done, everyone! I know not everyone may be excited about their result, but it will come, just keep working.
Special congratulations to Thijs! Who finished his first race ever and had a great result at 33 out of 56 riders, well done!
We're halfway through our race schedule, so enjoy next weekend without a race -- and we'll get back to it in two weeks!
