Recently, I have begun to do rides with a group of guys who ride professionally (老练地). The first day, I finished the ride with great 36 , though I tried hard to keep up with one guy for most the ways. To my 37 , I did a little better the second time.
I decided to work harder to 38 . Yesterday, I 39 so much on my ride that I missed the short route (路线) I usually take; 40 , I stayed on the long route. I had never used this route, so I wasn’t really sure about which 41 I should take. Thankfully, a group of four riders 42 , and I just followed them.
A few minutes later, one of the guys got a flat tire (爆了的轮胎), and, with the help of the others, he had it 43 in about a minute. We all waited there 44 he changed his tire. After we started riding again, I noticed something 45 . The guy at the front would ride 46 for a couple of minutes, then he would move over to the side, 47 his way to the end of the line, and the guy behind him would move into the lead position. The process (过程) would 48 every few minutes. This was a lot easier than riding alone, trying to 49 the first rider. This time I had a great time – and I think it is the 50 I’ve ever gone.
This made me realize how important teamwork is, and the 51 of having a great team. The point is that you don’t have to be at your best 52 . You give it your all for a while, and then you let the guy 53 you do the same. The entire team improves because you don’t have to be the 54 all the time. You get your time to shine, and so does everyone else. You cannot get anywhere – or even make any worthwhile improvement – without a 55 . Who else will stop and help you to change your flat tire?
