I have gotten out of the practice of writing race reports.
How does this work again?
Oh yeah, now I remember…
I’m supposed to start with a high-stakes moment in the race, describe it in compelling detail, get you breathless and hooked, and then, pull the rug out and leave you with a cliff-hanger.
Make it compelling, hook the reader in right up front. Give them enough information to ride the ride and promise them a satisfying resolution.
Then go back and fill in the messy details, exposition and clutter.
And there should be some sort of thread. A thought or expression that provides a bit of backbeat to keep the bits entangled and syncopated, like you do.
