Is it possible to just hit a ceiling and never BE fast(er)?
I hear I have good BP, clean line, but I can't get my speed up. I'm affected with throttle-itis. Don't get me wrong, I'm not looking for a bump and am more than happy to hang with my N friends for life (if you guys would just stop bumping them OUT!!! ). I just can't will myself to go faster. And by faster I just want to be able to keep pace, possibly pass a couple of people in my lifetime.
At Summit I worked on what I could, other than speed (thanks to the helpful advice of the awesome CRs) , such as throttle maintenance, braking, scanning/looking ahead with my eyes, etc.) and through that I can see where I can shave time off, but I am woefully slow in scary turns and in continual fear, from the buzzing I hear behind me, of getting a$$ packed.
I know my couple of crashes affected my performance and it's a slow crawl back, but I wasn't anywhere to begin with Is this an age thing? Being a mom thing? It gets frustrating to have young whippersnappers blowing past me straight up and down leaned over. Oh if I were 23 again *sigh*. Remind me again what perfecting this BP stuff was all about (other than sculpting my legs ). I need a little encouragement, I feel like I'm in some kind of limbo. I guess I can just continue to work on everything else, aside from speed, to perfection for eternity?
Yes I'm having fun. Yes I know that's what is important. Should I just resign myself to being a Sunday rider and take in more scenery?
