I raced the +25 novice class with the guys for the 1st time ever yesterday.  I really wanted to start doing two classes to get into better shape and get more track time.  I ended up getting my best finish ever (6th) against the guys!  Not because I was faster, but because they seem to fall and stall alot so I just beat them by staying up!  In the women's class the girls hardly ever fall or stall.  Probably because they take less risks and are more careful.  That's why we're not as fast as most guys!  I had a great time but I'm so sore today!
