Anyway, that's really not important. You won't know how you'll stack up until you actually go out and race. There's a lot more to being a good racer than having power.
concur. first, i think those are pretty good numbers for someone as young as you. second, numbers aren't important when you go try to beat somebody. when you get to a race, it's your heart and your desire that matter. work hard, train hard, and go try racing - if you get the bit in your teeth, the only number that's gonna matter is your place. nike is right - just do it
