Over the past year I have come to really enjoy racing. This is a bit of a surprise to me as I have never been a competitive person and by nature I prefer more secluded arenas then a crowded race field. However in support of someone I care about and an effort to step outside my comfort zone I raced more last year then ever before - and loved every race (some more than others of course)I think the key to enjoying racing is quite simple - relax, detach from results and always have fun (even when it hurts)It really is "only a race" and I will always be faster than some and slower than others. No big deal. I can improve and I have a great deal and that's mainly a result of the year of racing. But my results and my improvements have no expectations attached to them other than what I choose to measure them with. And if fun and meeting a chalenge are my greatest expectations - then I will emerge a winner every time.
Peace,
Eric
