were you doing longer stuff? I mean I long ago started focusing on stuff an hour or less. For me that means any discipline an hour or less, but I still had the snot to jump into a RR when things lined up that way. But it's not like there are a lot of 60+ minute crits for masters or most categories.
To me "longer" meant 25 miles or more. A lot of my races are 17 miles or something like that, so 45 minutes or even less.

I'm finding that even an hour race is a bit tough for me (55min + 5 laps at Tues Night), when I can even stay with the group.

When I say "short", I'm talking half a minute or so. Heh.
