Chapter 1: The Beginnings
I: Initial Exposure, Pt.1

Fair to say Football was the dominant force in town almost all year round these days. If people weren't going nuts for the Panthers they were talking about the NFL, probably the Cowboys or Texans. Except the last couple of years when all that is supposed to be over Football comes in new forms as the NBC crews move in to do their filming. This kicks everyone off about it in the months that should be quiet.

I mean there are places to get away from it, and just hiding out at friends houses is enough once the main seasons are done for. As a result i'd spend most days at either Laura or Cassies house. Unlike my home they had pools which was a nessesity even in April as temperatures were already pushing the 80's. We'd relax in the sun and waste the hours with idle talk or with essay work or exam revision.



School would kick in during the back half of the month and drag us back to the world. The NBC crews would still be around filming here and there but this was like the 4th or 5th year they were here so we were pretty used to it by now. This one day we were supposed to be doing our Cross Country training in the stadium stands but where kicked out for Football filming. I cut out to go to Laura's for a break.

I: Initial Exposure, Pt.2

Her mum welcomed me in and told me she was out back. As I made my way through I was distracted by her father watching TV. Now that must sound strange but what caught my attention was what was on the TV. I'm so used to blanking out Football, or Baseball or Basketball or whatever sport it was, i'm just not that into them. But this, this was new and different.

The camera peeled backwards showing off some rocky mountains and a group of people cycling up said mountains. This was just so alien! Yeah I could ride a bike but basically we'd just go to school or the shops or something and leave it at that. But these people were sweating and there was real exertion and effort going on. Honestly I had no idea what was going on as one rider would suddenly surge ahead and then be caught by the group.



Again and again it would happen. Eventually a figure in black would shoot ahead and almost like elastic snapping he was unleashed. The commentators were going nuts for it and kept up the high intensity chatter even though to my eyes nothing was happening. I must have zoned out watching for like 20 minutes when Laura jolted me back to the real world. The rest of the day was like any other spent by the pool doing school work. But I was ever so slightly elsewhere.
