Thanks BikeMomma for the tip. Right before the Win N Out I asked one of my friends if I should race and he responded the same way - try, try and try again - even if you fail, you have to try. Track is funny like that - it will test you to see what you're made of. Every time I give it an effort though - especially when I think I'm going to fail - I am happily surprized and excited about the results. Regardless if that means a podium spot or simply finishing further than before in a race - effort is marked by the small successes along the way. Thanks for being such a fan! How's your training going?
