I race in two or three classic races a year and I may carry on for 10 more years or I may stop tomorrow.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I run year-round and then ramp up my training for a race a few months before.
As far as me personally, I guess I'm going to come to the races for as long as I can.
I want to race as long as I'm having fun, it's competitive and healthy, and who knows when that, you know, date comes when that's not happening anymore.
I still do intense interval training. I like miles and quarters best. In races I can set my mind, and I believe I could break 2:20 again.
I drove long distances like the 24 hours of Le Mans for years. But even this racing is now over. I retired.
You get into such a routine of trying so hard each day and racing between 180 and 220 km., and as soon as you stop, it's weird, but you start to seize up. So it's easier if you keep the body ticking over. You just feel better for it come race day.
I raced locally for a year, went to Europe the year after and went to the Olympics the year after that.
I've lost a lot more races than I've ever won... it's all part of the journey, really.
If you think about racing too much you may just lose it a little bit.
I would like to run about 15 stock car races a year. That would be my goal.
