HJ
I thought you weren't one to bite so easily.
Did you think I was really serious in my last post ?
Of course, there is "an element of truth" in my comments.
Someone I know often wears a T-shirt bearing the slogan
"No one trains to be second"
I think it is fair to say that no-one trains to be last/lapped/etc.
(occasionally is bearable but frequently is very discouraging).
also, if I am beaten by a male (teen-aged to 40,say, wouldn't this
be a "hollow victory" too ?
-Just a thought.
Think you prob meant me not HJ.
Yep, the teen-aged to 50 y/o riders would see beating you to the line as a "hollow victory", thats why they dont bother celebrating it. Sorry but its a fact.
