Damn it's hard to ride in the heat like that, especially a track as long as washougal, u must be a younger guy, almost everyone is younger than me when it comes to motocross anyways

Actually I'm in my mid 40s now but I stay fit and keep the mindset of a tough young man. For the past two years I've been mountain biking for about an hour at the hottest part of the day. I used to be a runner too, but some knee injuries have held me back from that.

@@cwtoyota man good on u! I raced from 9 to about 27, made it to 125 intermediate, then stopped and took 16 years off, and have now been back into it for the last 9 months, one of the biggest things I notice is how much harder it is physically at 44 as opposed to 20 something, I'm actually surprising myself how fast it's coming back and how good I'm getting again BUT my stamina is awful despite being strong and in good shape, I get arm pump after half a lap and body tired after a lap if I'm pushing at 100%, working on it but damn its tough at 44!
