He Was in Awe
Tom Justice was born in Libertyville, Illinois, in 1971. From an early age, Justice showed promise as an athlete. While attending a cycling race at age 13, Justice was in awe as the cyclists zoomed around the track. Every time they whirled by, the bikes cut the air, causing a concentrated whoosh.

Justice had never seen a bicycle race before. However, his friend Kristin invited him to go, and he said yes because he had a crush on her. It was a good thing he went because he was transfixed from the moment he entered the stadium. A week later, Justice returned to the stadium for his first race.
