Nick Glazener

I only race occasionally. Physically, the races are only training

exercises for me. My ?A? events are epic group rides exploring the back

country trails.



One of my primary reasons for registering for a race is to support the

promoters that I consider to be my friends. I appreciate their efforts

to put on these worthy events. I enjoy the opportunity to experience

the charged atmosphere of a race event. It gives me a chance to make

new friends that I wouldn?t otherwise get to know. The mtb race

environment is much better than the road races for my relaxed

preference.



I have no intention of ever being very competitive. I race in the ss

category because that is my only race worthy (barely) mtb. The distance

doesn?t really matter to me. I chose the Sport distance the last time

because I didn?t feel like suffering on that day. I have the endurance

to complete the Elite distance. That is most likely what I will choose

at the Mudslinger. I hope I make it back in time for the swag raffle.



Whatever format the concerned parties of interest choose to set up, I

will just show up and be happy to have a plethora of cycling

opportunities to choose from. Thanks to OBRA and all of the promoters.
