Amateur Racing and fun

I raced the Rodeo Run in Houston last Saturday under the name, Chip Tyme. I use the pseudo-name sometimes just for fun....

One of the things I really like about amateur racing is that it really is all about your own personal reasons for running and racing...to do your best, to have fun, be with your friends, or just to get a t-shirt. After all, it doesn't really matter. It doesn't put food on the table and there are certainly more things going on in this world that are more serious.

Anyway...that's how I see amateur racing.

Some folks however, take it way too seriously.
