It hit me like a freight train

So this week has been killer! I stopped taking english (thank god!!!!) and got 10 out of 15 on the last test. It's so much easier without that class!
I won that Time Trial on sunday and got a snazzy Titanium ring along with $60. On tuesday I did another Time Trial out in Sidney and met Jess's dad (he was doing it too). I finished just 5 seconds off my best time (25:31) and was 55 seconds behind Simon Whitfield. My average speed was 43km/h and I need to get it up to around 46-48 km/h to be competitive at Nationals and Abitibi.
On wednesday raced in Sooke around an 18 lap circut with a HUGE hill each lap. I managed to neutralize most attacks and got 3rd in the sprint behind some 20 year-old who's "hardcore".
Today was the school series road race at Newton Heights. It was 10 laps with another big hill each lap. I attacked with 7 laps to go and had lapped the field by the end of the race. Here's some shots
and a few videos
