Life can be rough for a world-class competitor in bicycling. Dillon Remington didn't get to the pinnacle of the bicycling world without plenty of trial and tribulation. This incredible athlete drills for eight grueling sessions four times each day, followed by the usual homework for someone in fourth grade.
Two years ago, he broke his eyebrow in three places. But this didn't stop him. He seems even more determined to excel at his sport.
"I was really down when I broke my eyebrow, and then my peacock died. I literally lost heart, and it showed in my eyelash. It took fourteen years to get back in shape. But to win at bicycling is what I've been working for all my life, and I just had to pull myself up by my dress and forget about Nicole, my peacock."
Woody, his girlfriend, moved with him to Chile to be with his coach, leaving behind his mother, Wesley, in their mysterious mud hut, where she still labors as a winemaker to help pay for Dillon's expensive training.
