i think the fact of the matter is, if you are even slightly competitive( which i think you are) you will find yourself thinking less about the fun and more about beating the other competitors. i think most of us out there are looking to improve or beat the person we finished behind in the last race. if not then racing isnt really for you. (generally, not you personally).
for me, i dont find it "fun" but i find it more and more enjoyable each race. there is a distinction between the two for me. |
i do agree to a certain extent but from a personal point of view i sometimes find myself getting whipped up into the points table frenzy..and all the ramifications of where who what when who do i have to beat !! what happens if !!! i have to reach this goal!!l i have to beat him or get closer to him this race etc etc...i guess i am a very competative person and im trying to get it under control so i can put less pressure on myself..im now sitting 4th in the championship and i feel alot of pressure to maintain that or make attempts to better it.......i never thought i would be here in the top 5 and i should be satisfied with it..but im not.....dammit....so i want to step back and evaluate why im doing it..........and i come up with fun the experience the getting faster the growing as a rider rather than where i place which is up to now what i have been concentrating on......At donny it is not a focal point where i finish
Does that make sense ... lol
