| Jack in the middle of the pack |
The White Rose Youth League runs at several venues across Yorkshire, each venue is independent and runs its own competition. Jack is in the 'Youth C Boys' (Under 12's) and Finlay is in the 'Youth E Boys' (Under 8's)
First the kids do a single time trial lap. Finlay did it in 2 minutes 7 seconds, good enough for 3rd, Finlay is the perfect age for his group so has a good chance of doing okay. To win his class he would have needed to do a lap in 1 minute 57 seconds. Jack came 13, in his class with a time of 1 minute 34, he's one of the younger ones in his class, and will be able to stay in this group next year. Jack would have needed to do a time of 1 minute 22 seconds to win.

| Finlay trying hard |
The kids then each had a race. Finlay did 6 laps and finished 2nd, he had a good race and tried really hard, the kids were all quite evenly matched and Finlay did really well to come out on top at the end. Jack had to do 12 laps and finished 15th, he got dropped by the pack straight away and had a very lonely race, really hard work when you are on your own, but he will learn from this.
This was the first race that the kids have done on tarmac and they both enjoyed the evening, a positive experience. It's going to be character building for Jack this year he's in a tough age group.
