- Was it the corner shop ice cream... licking an ASDA shopping trolly handle... or pre race nerves?
Harley spent Friday evening being sick 🥴 we were meant to drive to the forest of dean to camp out the night before... but we weren't sure if he'd be ok. So we stayed home... at 5am we asked Harley if he wanted to race, because we had to leave then if he did. He asked me to carry him to the van... so he could try to stay asleep for the drive.
9am came - it was time to sign on. Harley was still asleep in the van... all the other kids where ready and riding practice laps. Harley hadn't anything to eat since Friday lunchtime...
10am came - Harley was awake... and slowly eating an apple. He told me he didn't need Calpol, he'd be ok. So he got his kit on and we went up for a practice run... his previous best time had been 1:39. This practice was 1:40... he wanted to go back up and try another run. The second run was 1:35...
10:30am... time to race. Harley had a mini pack of Haribo and got himself fired up to ride his heart out... his first race run he did 1:31!!! This had him 4th place... just over 1second away from first.
11am... second run. I said to Harley; you've just beaten your personal best time by 8seconds... and you're 2 seconds away from the winning time... do you think you can find 2 seconds from your run? He was KEEN to race!! More keen than I've ever seen him... his second race he powered out of the start, he pedalled as much as he could. He even talked to himself on the way down... telling himself he could push it harder.
Race 2... he did 1:30!!!! Harley was holding the winning time!!! He patiently and very excitedly waited until every one of the 29 riders finished to find out if any of the other riders had gone down faster before getting his hopes up too much for a win!!!!
Harley loved every second of being the race winner, standing on the top step of the podium... 5 years old and winning an 8 and under MTB race, the day after giving himself food poisoning. He'll probably remember this weekend for the rest of his life!
