I have had a bad run of luck at bike races. After longing for years to try my hand at racing, my fist two events last year were, well, unsatisfactory. My first race, back in August of ‘07, didn’t go well for the simple reason that I was grossly out of shape and overweight. I gave up 10 miles into the race, as I was unable even to keep up with people riding 1970’s steel bikes and jeans! The great thing about that race, however, was that it inspired me to get back on the bike and start training again. I immediately signed up for the last road race of the year in New England, the Jamestown Road Race, and began training hard. On October 13th, I entered the event 10 pounds lighter and fairly confident that I could keep up. Unfortunately, that race ended in disaster as well, as I crashed just 8 miles in.

This year I was determined to, at the very least, finish the damn race!
