For a Moment, I Was a Champion

We had a team off-site today which involved go-kart racing. There were three groups of 8. Each group did two races and then we had a finals race of the fastest 12 people. I made it into the champions race and got 6th place. Dead middle, that's not the exciting part, I live my life in the dead middle of the advanced crowd (if that makes sense). The champion part came in my second race. I scored the fastest lap of the day. Of our group, nobody beat my lap time of 40.52 seconds. There were people crowding around me to ask my advice, people wanted to hear what I did, what it was like, what was my secret.

All the fame and attention lasted about 3 1/2 minutes before they went on with their normal lives, but it was actually very satisfying to have people rushing up to greet me. What a rush. I was literally shaking form all the adrenaline.

So it seems I've used up about one fifth of my 15 minutes of fame. I wonder what's next, maybe I'll make it to the 10 o'clock news !!!
