And as a professional cyclist, Connor O’Leary races for a living and has been in many competitive situations.

“What I love to do is race and win,” said Connor O’Leary, who raced for the Under-23 USA National Team and for the pro-continental team. “I think that really came into play on the race … in those high-intensity situations (you) keep your head on straight.”

And it’s been an experience the father-son duo sporting yellow won’t soon forget.

“To watch it is amazing and doing it is even more amazing,” Dave said. “It was a real race. It was an all-out adrenaline rush.”

“The Amazing Race” airs Sunday evenings on CBS.
