Stamina is one of my strengths, but I'm sure not ready for 40 miles offroad at racing pace. The main reason I'm going in a younger age group is so I can race the shorter distances of the beginner class rather than the longer Grand Masters class. Usually about 10 - 14 miles vs. 16 - 25 miles.
Offroad endurance racing is getting really popular around here with 6, 12 and 24 hour races becoming more frequent. I may try that next year, but for now I'll be happy to finish the short races without blowing up.
