And... WOOT!
Must not forget to call out my congrats for local LaG peeps being selected USA Cycling's Club of the Year. (http://www.usacycling.org/news/user/story.php?id=3338) :)

Very nice! And the track championships will be in Carson. Mark, do you hear that? You won't even have to travel to take AJ to the nationals this year. I say we have a group ride to try out the road course on August 5th or something.

Crossing fingers that Masters Nats end up here as well.

Juniors!? I race Elite Cat 4's!! ;) :D

We'll see if he's up for it by then.

He'll be in the 10-12 age category, right? He may not get the jersey, but I'm quite positive he won't be DFL.

I borrowed a HR monitor from work. He used it tonight. As he outsprinted me up a short rise, he said he hit 203bpm!! I think I hit like 140 or so. My max is 189. I'm so old!

+1. If not I will for sure do the elite road race. It's really cool for the SoCal juniors that nationals will be here. I did my first junior nationals in San Diego in 1990. (I need to find that medal).

mkadam- An old coach used to let me borrow an hrm when I would do tt workouts with him when I was a junior. I remember watching that thing and it wouldn't go under 195 for about 20 min. If I'm over 190 for more than about 5 min. nowadays, I am in trouble for sure.
