I think the dumb action would be preventing yourself from racing ever again out of fear and constantly wondering what it would've been like had you returned to it.

It has been 4 hours...what happened?

 

[crossracer]

Ok I lived. Mission accomplished

I knew in the first half mile my lungs would not open up. So since cardio wasn't going to happen, I simply rode the race as a fun ride.

I finished the entire race in last place. With a huge smile and cracking jokes the whole time.

Then leg cramps started around mile 10 and lasted thru mile 13.5. I just kept going and finished. Probally dead last.

I really did have tons of fun. It was well worth going.

I hear you - started racing again this year (at age 47) for the first time since 2006. I've done two, been dropped both times, had fun and a few moments of glory. It's been worth it so far.

The thing I learned was that they always start fast. If you can stay with the pack in the beginning, it will slow down and become easier.

That's not dumb, that's fun. So what if you come in last place or near it, it'll get you pumped, and then you will want to start training more seriously, then before you know it you might someday just win a race.
