Snelling Road Race

Dnf
Juniors 13-14
Field:25
Teammates:Adam, Peter, Aaron,Lily, Nick R.
We got to the course around 7:30. Once we gt there me and Adam registered and did the Junior roll out. When we finished all that stuff we got on our trainers and rode them for about 15 mins. After that we found Aaron and Peter and went over our plan of what we were going to do. After a few miles into the course I knew this was going to be a dangerous ride because everybody was swerving and cutting us off. Before the race had actually started there was I think 2 crashes. We got to this one really steep hill and everybody started picking up the pace, That is when I knew the race started. On one of the flat parts we saw this one Wolf Pak person riding in the dirt on the side of the road. I was really nervpus coming through the bridge after all I've seen today,luckily we made it across without any crashes or problems. When we got to the hill after the bridge A wolf Pak kid elbowed Adam and Adam went off into the dirt on the side of the road and crashed. So i stayed with him just to make sure he was alright. When the officer came to se if he was alright Adam said that he was and we got on our bikes and decided to take it slow the rest of the way. While we were riding we decided to just finish the 1st lap. So we did and we waited at the finish so we could watch all of our teammates finish.

Teammate:Peter
We got to the course aroung 8:00 because my dad had an early start time. As soon as I got out of the car I started riding on the trainer. While I was on the trainer Peter and his family drove up into the parking lot. Peter then set up his trainer right next to mine and we started riding on it for about 30 mins. When we got to te start there was about 4 groups ahead of us. When it was out time to go we got off to a good start. A couple miles from the start Charles and Tyler both past us really quickly. When we got to the first hill we could see almost all the people that started before us. That gave us some influece to push ourselves up the hill to try to catch them. Once we go to the last really big hill Peter and I both slowed down because we thought it was the end until one of the people standing there told us that there was 1k left to go.So we went as hard as we could down the last hill. Once we got to the end everybody was stopped there. So we knew for sure that that was it.
