Rhodie! Kudos for trying! That took effort and guts to go out of your comfort zone, and most people don't. Doesn't matter if you did well or not, you tried something just for the heck of it, gave it a good shot and figured it's not quite your thing, at least not at the moment. But now you know what it's like, and you're an experience richer. Well done

Winter riding is much less about badassery and much more about bundle-uppery. - malkin

Aw, thanks guys. Yeah, I am proud that I did it. It was not a bunch of slackers like me out there. They all looked pretty serious about it, and I think all of the women were on teams. I did okay, considering.

Way to go for trying it! I have been riding since 2004 and have not even gotten the nerve to attempt a road race. It is a different animal from the racing I do and not for everyone! It takes some serious guts to even try it, you should be proud for testing the waters.
