Great stuff OP. You rode, attacked, avoided a crash and chased. Think of all the experience you gained in a single race.
Keep showing up. Good luck at the next one.
Thanks Bob! I actually pulled a couple of nuggets of racing wisdom from your blog, some from MyShavedLegs blog, and a whole bunch of great stuff from CDR's blog (I didn't think I was ready for some of the stuff in CAT3phenom's blog). And of course all the great stuff posted in here. I will admit to having to work on my "suffering in a race" look, that will come with time!
And to your point - as dumb as I felt after the race for what I know were stupid mistakes and not finishing higher, it's definately something that gets in you, and I can't wait to do it again!
