Luckily not yet, I've got time to recover.

First race of the season in Washington is March 7th.

Looked at the racing calendar and I'm bummed. I'll be in California when Webster-R and Squiggy are held. WR is fun in a really perverted way. And I'd like to do Squiggy again. That is a fast TT course. These are "fun" races. Squiggy would be cool because my wife and I have a dear friend that lives down there and it could be followed by the circuit race the next day. Dang!

My sights are set much deeper in the schedule. I need to erase the big FAIL I had last year at the State TT (time was 3 minutes slower than what I had done on my road bike with training wheels and non-aero helmet just weeks earlier). At the follow-up monthly team meeting I had numerous team mates ask me "WTF?" when they saw my time. It was a total fail.

And the Ocala stage race. That is an awesome event. Two RR's and a short ITT. And a true stage race with timings and not an omnium. All this and I get to sleep in my own bed all weekend.

I'm good for TT's right now. Crit's are going to kill me for the next two months. Too bad you'll miss your shot at Squiggy, I'm looking forward to it personally, but there will be a local TT on February 26th that will have an El Indio burrito on the line and no registration fee.

I love El Indio burrito's, but I'll only put it out there if it is for the "anything goes" time. No way that I can win any of the others. Given enough lead time I just might surpass K-dogg's outfit from last year.
