Where do I start??

[biglimey]

I think I heard something one time about it being the motor not the machine

And if you're having fun then that's all thats important!

I got it bad when I got my first bike, a Yukon as well. My problem was I was riding w/ guys that had Reigns and FSR Elites.

Don't get me wrong though, all the new stuff was worth it at the time.

I took a hit in the tailbone when I started out, so I needed something more plush while I healed. It felt good for the time being, I guess I just got used to having it. Bought a Reign not too long ago and never got back to playing on the hardtail.

What bighit8 and big limey said is great advice.Your running will help with establishing a base fitness along with a crosstraining aspect,but riding a bike will uses a completely different set of muscles.Understanding things like "lactic threshhold" and such will help you define where you need work.One of the best things you can do is go to your local local bike shop and have your bike fitted.Next is to ride lots o' miles.My $.02 worth.See ya on the trails,good luck and have fun! -Lloyd

Pretty good time, you must race CC? You probably are in good shape but, like someone previously said, you probably just need to get more saddle time and get used to riding a bit more.
