Old Lady Description Written By Melissa

The ladies speckled blue eyes are pleading for help. Long heavy clothes droop down, forcing her to lean to a side. Her face is as shriveled as a dry raisin. Her faded lips look like they have been stuck together with glue. The joy in the children's faces digs hope into her worried eyes. Darkness folds over her as the wind pulls strands of hair out of her scarf. Night, has come and families are making their way into their warm, cozy homes. She folds herself up in her jackets and leans against the building wall. The lady looks away, closes her eyes and goes to sleep.

Lily has just returned from racing at the BMX World Champs held in Rockhill, SC, USA. With over 3500 competitors from 40 countries this year was the biggest World Champs ever held. Conditions were very hot and humid, several times practice was delayed by the intense thunderstorms when everybody had to evacuate the grounds to vehicles and buildings and wait for the all clear! Fortunately, race days were unaffected.  Lily had a great day of racing, winning her 3 motos and transferring through the knockout rounds of 1/8, 1/4 and semi finals all the way to the Main (final), a huge achievement! Lily had a great start in her final and came out of the first corner in 4th, at the end of the 2nd straight she tangled with a USA rider and crashed. With her never give up attitude she got back on her bike and finished the race in 8th place.   The Worlds experience is a unique opportunity to represent NZ as an age group representative and enjoy being with the team.
