"The older I am, the faster I was"
Not that I was ever that fast but I have ridden better. Just finished up my 2nd month of MX racing, this was # 6 or 7 for me. Oh I had a great time and I finished the race without a single spill, which is better than the last couple of races, yet I came in dead last on both motos. I would say it's the worst I've ever done but it was the least amount of riders I've ever competed against and they certainly seemed a lot faster than me. I raced in the over 25 novice class and there were only 6 of us on the gate. I had been nursing a hurt shoulder from my last race on this track 2 weeks ago but I felt pretty good, nothing was hurting. Maybe it was my sub conscience keeping me from being faster but I felt like I was doing all I could to stay with the pack. My 10 yr. old daughter summed it up the best I reckon, she said "Dad, I love you, you're the greatest and I'm proud of you but you suck" She said I wasn't aggressive enough. Maybe not but I don't think I'll try to explain to her my response in the Am I too old thread.:debil:
