thanks! i recall reading your response in the 41, and when i saw a few racers from WPI, i was thinking, maybe i should walk by the wpi tent, but then realized i have no idea whom to look for. i race for columbia university, and good thing is that i have three more years to go (i'm doing a ph d). right now, the C surges would probably kill me, as my time trial would be around 65th percentile in C. i'm gonna get some more experience first, do a few summer races, and go from there. btw, would you be at army next weekend?
