I love that you still get out and compete. Good for you, Rob.

I just love it! There's this new dimension to racing now that I would have done anything to experience when I was in high school or college. Then there was a lot of anxiety and dread associated with racing but now I just feel gratitude and joy at being with like minded people and mixing it up a bit.
I honestly feel a little sadness when the finish line comes into view.
