"I started in last place because I couldn't get on my bike. Then I passed a lot of people. A [xXx] guy behind me was yelling 'You're getting beat by a girl, and she's half you're age!' at one of the boys I passed. Then he yelled 'All out! All out!' at me at the end. I got third place. It was fun."

Gold star for mom, who used her James Bond driving skills to get her to the line THREE SECONDS before the start. Warmups are so overrated.
