Not so bad after all

The final results are in from last weekend's race and I wasn't dead last. Among all beginner men, I finished 43rd out of 49. In the age appropriate category, I finished 12th out of 16. Probably the most interesting statistic (interisting statistic, isn't that an oxymoron?) was that if I finished 10 minutes faster like last year, I would have had the same place finish in my age group and would have only moved up 1 place overall. Weird.

If not sooner, then next August in Flagstaff. There is the Cave Creek Bike Festival with a 20 mile race/ride. Don't know if I will be able to make that. The Absolute bikes race in Flag is the only one I've ever done. Two years now. If I keep getting slower eavh year, they may start the clock in one year and finish in the next.
