I did my first race in June of 2007. It was a cross country mountain bike race at Wakefield Park, and I had just learned to use clipless pedals without falling over. During the race, I kept thinking, "This is horrible; it's hot, I’m tired, and this feels like work. I’m never doing this again." I came in third, won a $10 gift certificate and a waterbottle, and decided I wanted to go to the Olympics.
