Disappointing showing in Canada

ScottMP

My nephew showed up for the World Championships in Canada full of hope. He was told is was his type of race and the team was going to work for him to get to the sprint at the final lap.

After four laps of the course he was in the top ten. We suddelny saw him drop back and then watched on the big screen as he was helped back on his bike. The next lap he was far behind. The next time we saw him he was in the booth and out of the race.

On his fifth lap he broke a spoke and had to take a lap with the wheel wobbling. He jumped off to get a spare bike and slipped in the tent. As he took off he reliazed they had given him the wrong bike. By the time he had done another lap he was so far behing the group when he came in he just stopped.

Our whole family was there and six of his college friend drove all night to be there with tee shirts they had made.

He was very disappointed, but thats sports. We are still VERY proud of him and he has a great career in front of him if he wants it.

Give him

a big hug and buy him a lobsta! He's used up his bad luck streak, so expect great things to happen next time out of the gate.

Thanks Guys

The good thing is his coach told my brother they want him back in Europe next year and they expect big things from him.

Its just heartbreaking to want to see him do well and then have this happen.

Things could be much worse, so its back to hydronics .

Even

Lance Armstrong didn't win when he first started out. If you read his awesome book, he talked about his first races where he would go all-out at the beginning of the race and be in first place; half way through, he'd bonk and come in last.

I'm sure your nephew learned a lot from his experiences and that he will do better the next time.
