Samantha was ready for the big race today. She had her bike tuned up by her team this week and she was ready to rock. As an avid dirt bike racer she's never entered a professional race before.
Often she would like to ride in the outback without a care in the world. She loved having the ability to turn off her mind and live in the moment. Racing around without a care in the world is where she likes to be.
Everything melts away once you enter the zone. The zone as she calls it happens when the world fades away and you focus on the task at hand.
Right now, she's in second place trying to catch up with the leader. Dirt spewing from the wake of the rider in front is spurring her on. Her skills are put to the test and she wants to triumph. Not for the trophy and prize money but for her own reasons.
This is her first official race and winning would be something to remember. In reality, finishing within the top three would be marvelous but she likes to set high goals. She revs the throttle in the last stretch, hits a jump and passes through the finish line.
She takes her helmet off and watches as the dust settles. She calls out to the people at the finish line.
Who's the winner?
