In hindsight I should have raced when I was younger and kept getting asked to join races by the racers who I knew. I had the time back then, plus I was putting in a lot of hard miles so I probably would have done ok though I suspect my racer friends just wanted me to show up so they can crush my soul. I'd still be up for racing but finding the time is really hard because my weekends aren't free and having enough time to train the way I'd like to isn't easily available. I'm pretty humble so I expect I'd be pack fodder if I did, but I'd give it a go.
