I guess that's how a lot of cat 5s and 4s feel as well and why they drop out of the sport. The difference is they haven't done 230 races and don't yet know for sure how much it sucks to get beat on every weekend for 5 years straight. .
But are you actually slower? Wasn't fudgy saying your numbers are better than his?

Based on everything I've seen you post over the last year or however long, it genuinely seems like your issues are not fitness related, but tactically related. Is that a possibility from your perspective?
