Saturday's Races

So on Saturday I did my two races. Of course they were both muddy and sloppy, but they were both great. The first one I did was the Sherwood Hills. That was the one that I won last year. I guess the people who were in charge were up there shoveling snow for like a week! This year I was in the ten to twelve group. Last year my time was the time of the ten to twelve group winner doing two laps, I only did one. So at the finish line we were all ready , all of our hearts were racing. When the guy said go I was off. The guy said we should only do 5 laps even though we were supposed to do 6. I started off really slow and not very good. We started off on a hill s it wasn't that easy. Me and another guy's pedals clipped together. After the hill you would turn right. From there on it downhill switchbacks. On the third lap I passed big herd of people. That put me in third. On the final lap I passed one more person that put me at second.

I kept it up for the entire race. I finished in second and I was standing on the podium. On the second race I did the health days it was a ten mile race with lots of snow I finished first out of all of the kids. I won a lantern and had a great time. So by the time me and my dad were muddy and drenched. I had a great day even if I was soaked and my legs hurt.
