Seriously, dude? You think you can beat THIS!?

I was in the zone today in my RPM/spin class.

Had oatmeal for breakfast, got a good bike, I was on.

The instructor was talking about the cyclists in Olympics, getting us all pumped, talking about rounding the corner, picking up speed...

The chinese man next to me bumped my arm.

I smiled, he wants to race.

Ok, little man, it's on!

I took off! All the while making sure my legs were pumping harder and spinning faster than his.

He was focused, kept his eyes straight ahead of him.

Ohhhh, he's good.

He's trying to completely block me out, doesn't want me to get in his head.

I kept my head low and stared over at him, smirking, like, "you better look over here, I'm kicking your booooo-tay!"

And I totally was.

I was pushing harder, my strokes were faster, sweat was dripping...I was clearly winning. 

Whew, we finished!

The song was over and we were instructed to "ride easy".

I leaned over and playfully punched the chinese man in the arm.

I said, "I won!"

He jerked back kind of surprised and said with his brow furrowed, "It's no race. Is for self.

We not here for competition, is just for workout!"

Oops, my bad.

Around my house, EVERYTHING is a competition.

I though he wanted to take me on...
