Wow...

there are so many people here at today’s race.

I didn’t know if I would be able to find you again.

I know.

Did you finish?

How did your race go?

Well,

to be honest,

it didn’t go that well today.

I kind of disappointed myself.

There were times during the race,

I didn’t know if I would finish or not.

But, I slowed down,

drank some water

and finally made it to the finish line.

What about you?

Actually,

I ran my best race ever!

Look...

First place in my age division!

Are you serious?

Allen, that is awesome!

You have been training so hard for the last few months.

Wow!

All that hard work really paid off!

Thanks man!

But I’m sorry your race didn’t go that well.

It’s okay.

Even though I didn’t run that fast today,

I’m sure the next race will be much better.

Maybe I need some tips from my...

friend the champion!

Here he is!

My friend!

Number one!

Right here!

He’s the winner!

REAL FRIENDS celebrate each other’s success.
