Good job. Keep it up.

Yes, the 40 yr olds are fast. Well not all of them. If you do a race down in Southern California, many times you will see the guy who just got a top 10 in the 35+ or 45+ crit go out in the Cat 1-2 field and get a top 10 again and many times win. Definitely not uncommon.

Now that I am older, I train harder than I ever did when I raced as a Jr. I watch everything I do more. With age comes discipline.
