spring prarie road race

today was the state championship road race. i got first gage got second and nate got third in age and fourth overall. we started with a neutral mile up to the top of the hill which was really easy. every one who wasn't going to be with us was off the back right away. after our group was all together the first person off the back was because of a flat. the climb after he got a flat i tried fly the coup and i almost got off but i died and couldn't get up the hill as hard as i wanted to and got caught. that same lap nate tried to fo on an attack on the down hills but couldn't so then i tried to continue it but coundn't and then gage tried and couldn't so we gave up for that round. on that hill we just sat up and sat a wheel. nothing happened the second lap until the final sprint when evan was leading it out with nat on his wheel and me on his wheel and gage on my wheel. right away at the very bottom i went and ended up making it. i felt really strong so i just went. nate and evan were ahead of gage but died at the top and gage passed them. nate just didn't have it in him to kick it with gage so he ended up fourth with gage in second.
