Stop, have a cookie, tell a joke or laugh at one until you're ready for it to be enjoyable again.<BR/>..unless of course you've got something to prove to someone. (which you don't) so quit beating on yourself cause that can't be helpfull either. <BR/><BR/>Yes, I know some worthwhile things are hard, as it should be. but theres a line between hard and retarded.<BR/><BR/>Remember riding is/should be fun. You were obviously having a lot of fun for more laps than I rode total. I say enjoy the time you spent on the bike. don't worry about the time you didn't.<BR/><BR/>..at least you don't have a chicks ass ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572555494322710549.post-63079892532094041282007-08-29T15:41:00.000-04:002007-08-29T15:41:00.000-04:00Thanks Goat!Actually, I really enjoyed the course ...Thanks Goat!<BR/>Actually, I really enjoyed the course . . . guess the body didn't.<BR/><BR/>I wanted to do Seven this year, but plans didn't work out. They're changing the dates for next year, and will conflict with school.
