My First Race Ever--Help!!!!
I read Bud Bent's post on the Senior Games, and much to my surprise found myself signing up for the 20 kilometer road race. Now that I've gone and done that part, it occurs to me that I should probably do something to prepare for the race itself.
My goals at this point are to:
*Finish
*Avoid Crashing
*End Up With a Good Story to Tell
My previous racing experience is limited to trying to catch my older brother on a Huffy one-speed more than 40-years ago. Having failed at that, I hung up my sneakers at the age of nine and never raced again.
Therefore, I beg any and all who have racing experience to offer their wisdom. I've been doing a couple of tough spin classes most weeks through the winter, so I'm not completely out of shape.
