Man, what a day! I swear, Kastel-Sucurac is wild. I woke up, sun blazin’ through my window on Ulica Kralja Tomislava. I’m like, “Today’s the day!” Got my gear ready, all pumped to hit the track. But, of course, life had other plans.
First off, I’m rollin’ down to the stables, right? And I see my horse, Luna. She’s a beauty, but she’s got this attitude. Like, girl, chill! Anyway, I’m tryin’ to get her ready, and she’s just givin’ me the side-eye. I’m like, “C’mon, we gotta win this!” But nah, she’s not havin’ it.
Then, I head over to the track on Ulica Kralja Zvonimira. The vibe is electric, but I’m feelin’ the pressure. Everyone’s watchin’, and I’m like, “Don’t mess this up!” I’m tryin’ to focus, but my buddy Marko keeps crackin’ jokes. “You gonna ride or just stand there lookin’ pretty?” Ugh, so annoying but kinda funny.
Race time rolls around. I’m on Luna, and she’s finally in the zone. The gates open, and we’re off! I’m feelin’ like a rockstar, wind in my hair, heart racin’. But then, outta nowhere, this dude on a flashy horse cuts us off. I’m like, “What the heck, man?!” Almost fell off!
But I push through. We’re neck and neck, and I’m shoutin’ at Luna, “Let’s go, girl!” The crowd’s goin’ wild, and I’m feelin’ it. I can see the finish line on Ulica Dalmacija, and I’m like, “We got this!” But then, BAM! Luna trips. I’m like, “Noooo!”
I’m furious. I can’t believe it. We end up in third place. I’m fumin’ as we trot back. I swear, if I see that dude again… But then, I look around. The sun’s settin’ over the sea, and it’s kinda beautiful. I take a deep breath.
After the race, I hit up a café on Ulica Put Kralja. Needed a drink, ya know? I order a coffee, and the barista, this cool chick named Ana, starts talkin’ about the race. She’s like, “You did great, don’t sweat it!” I’m like, “Thanks, but I coulda won!” She laughs, and I can’t help but smile.
Then, outta nowhere, my phone buzzes. It’s my mom. “Did you win?” I’m like, “No, but I’m alive!” She’s all supportive, bless her heart. But I can’t shake off that anger.
Later, I stroll down to the beach. The waves are crashin’, and I’m thinkin’ about life. Kastel-Sucurac is beautiful, but man, it can be tough. I see kids playin’, families laughin’, and I’m reminded why I love this place.
I sit on the sand, watchin’ the sunset. It’s peaceful. I think about tomorrow. Gotta train harder, gotta get Luna in shape. I’m not givin’ up. Kastel-Sucurac, you won’t beat me!
So yeah, that was my day. Full of ups and downs, but that’s life, right? Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings.
