Sounds like you had a good race in spite of yourself! You have so much more confidence now than the beginning of the year.
You have to learn to love the mud. The mud is ur friend. It slows down the faster riders.

betty - nononono! don't listen to me. i'm just a big whiny baby pee pee pants.

judi - i can't wait until we line up together at harbin park next year! you're gonna kick my ass, i'm sure!

groover - yes, it is the nature of the beast ... both the pms and thinking i could do better everytime! yes, already have sights set on next & last race ... hoping its' a good one - no matter the outcome & i WILL pedal faster!

house - not so brave. really. if i was brave, i'd probably pedal faster. ;-)

oh, suzanne, you are way braver than me.

I always think I could have done better - afterwards! It's the nature of the beast. You forget about the pain you were in. Stop beating yourself up. Just pedal harder next time.
PMS sucks! But you are not alone, sister. Good on ya for racing anyway and pulling through with it and finishing strong in 4th! You go, girl!

oooh! hot cider and rum one of my most favorite things in the world.
-- and since we filled up the rv with propane to get the heat going, we could have had a nice pot of it on the stove! hmmm ... may do just that for next race.

also, this being kentucky and all ... brown water (aka bourbon) in a flask works equally well. but we forgot that too - left it at home with the beer.

yes ... at least i 'raced' - cause getting there & not racing? or just DNF'ing? while i may entertain the thought - its' never an option. unless of course my biggest fear comes true and i do one day get impaled by a stake.

the getting to the race process is indeed always a race in itself!

can't wait to read about your weekend! 80 degrees? no fair!

well, at least you did the right thing by "racing"...

2008-11-17T19:50:00.000-05:00

well, at least you did the right thing by "racing".

imagine if you'd gotten there and decided not to do it - after all the hard work of getting there. after the "process".

good job!

we've been having hot apple cider and rum after our races. it sounds like it might be a good post race drink for you guys with all that crazy cold "weather" you have out there.
