We have a woman on our team who is 65, and racing 'cross for the first season. She has been last at a number of races (including road and TT over the summer months). After Sunday's race, we were together looking at the results and she was SO EXCITED because she WASN'T LAST - she had beat one other racer!

BTW - the best line ever from her (covered head to toe with mud) - "Are you having as much fun as I am?"

She's my hero!

SheFly (who has also finished last - no shame there - you show up, you race, you have fun - it's all good).
