After Friday's lackluster performance, and disappointment of not being able to race in the main, Alessandra thought that it would be a good idea to do a little practicing at home. I got out my bike, and we did several mock races in front of the house. We'd start facing the street, and Alessandra would get a side by side practice start, and then ride as hard as she could up the street to Crestview. Then we turn around and do the same thing racing down to the circle. Alessandra was having fun practicing that Saturday afternoon, and she started talking about going fast in the races, and "passing the other kids". I was able to get her to do a few more practice starts on Sunday morning, and then we were off to the races. When we got there Alessandra looked at me and said- "Daddy, I'm going to go fast and win a trophy."
And she's a woman of her word- She raced against two four year old sisters (they were good riders; they already rode pedal bikes, but also had non-pedal bikes there for the Strider races), and convincingly won both races. Her first main event win!
No videos of this one. Daddy was very proud of his little girl!
