We took a few weeks off from racing after the trip to Illinois. We were finishing up our downstairs remodel in anticipation of Gianluca, and just couldn't get out to the track. After getting our house livable again we decided to head out for a Sunday morning race. Alessandra's only three, and she just started racing. I HAVE to remind myself of that. She definitely has a race mode (which is really cool when you see it), but she also has a "roll mode", which is where she just rolls off the line (usually in last place, and just rolls around to finish. She may start to catch some of the other kids toward the end, but they're short races, and if they don't go aggressively from the start, then it's pretty hard to make up ground. Anyway, Alessandra just doesn't quite get it-YET. If she doesn't get a good start she just tends to let everyone go by and just roll around to the finish. There were only three riders in today's race so she'll get a trophy, and that will make her happy.
