Nice! Second place, that's amazing! Yeah, racing is pretty nerve-wracking. My first race was the 24 Hour Hot August Nights with 4 other guys. I was the most experienced rider, so they had me start first, and man, was I nervous. It was me in a sea of sponsored riders, and SO many at the starting line. I was really nervous. It's definitely a different feeling, but once you get over the initial fear, the adrenaline and excitement are amazing! Congrats on the finish!

Posting this again. For some reason, when you are the first to post, it doesn't format properly.
