so i was faced with a delimna. move up a category or not? i had won only one race in my category, but had placed second also this year. last year i was pretty consistent with third place finishes. i had heard that number one and two from last year were moving up also.
pros: longer races, more prestige, greater opportunity for improvement
cons: increase in price, less opportunity to win (prizes), increased suffering
based on this, i decided to move up. i am not sure the logic there, but that is what i did. my first race as a pro made me think my decision was a bit rash. experts, who we started with, passed me. granted they only had two versus my three laps to complete. when i finally looked at the results my lap times were actually faster. the next race made me feel a little better. in the end, i think it was the right decision. check out the results though and decide for yourself.
