I remember going into my first sprint race on like 2 weeks of training. Being a collegiate swimmer and just dabbing into cycling I thought it'd be a piece of cake so I went out hard! Then I remember thinking that being taken away in an ambulance wouldn't be the worst way to end the day. I am not quite sure what exactly happened but when I crossed that finish line something "clicked." Now add a type A personality, 2 years of training and bam!
