Racing should be fun, right? I had a bit of fun on Sunday at the NC State Games. I had my fan club out (see the happy, flushed faces to the right). I gave a kid a five mid-way through the race. I won a pair of socks by winning a 'preim lap' (kind of like a race within a race. FYI, I left without the socks and remembered about them at the pool later that day-slightly frustrating). Me and one other guy led pretty much the whole race but I beat him in the sprint at the end, winning the race. I had a judge call me to the judges booth overlooking the finish line and show me the photo finish. I won by 6 inches. It was a very cool shot and I should have taken a picture of it so I could post it here, again, I didn't think about it until after the race was over. I stepped up on a podium and had someone put a gold medal around my neck. It was a pretty cool day...not in temperature, mind you-it was crazy hot. Anyway, it was a nice father's day afternoon. Now I set my sights on Greenville SC this Thursday evening. One more...
