that's what i'm made of
if i am first out of the gate
if i pedal as fast as I can
i can already feel the medal around my neck
that's what i'm made of

All of us together lined up at the start. Our gripped gloves on, and our gripped shoes equipped. Our helmets strapped tight and our biking suits clean.
My bike is freshly greased, and my tires are brand new.
I glance over at Naruto and Kiba to the left, who have the biggest grins on their faces. It almost makes me sad, because I know that I'll be winning. To the right are Sasuke and Kankuro, and again I get that superior sensation that takes over my body.
The winner of last years race, Neji, is holding the starting flag, waving it slowly back and forth a few feet in front of us.
All the rest of my friends are in the crowd. I see my classmate Tenten, and some of the underclassmen; Choji, Shikamaru, Gaara, Hinata, Sakura, Ino, Temari and Shino. Akamaru, Kiba's dog, is barking loudly, attempting to capture the immersed Kiba's attention.
Slowly Neji raises the flag. And I, Rock Lee, will win, because that's what I'm made of.
