It was my first year as a roadie, my first year training, my first season racing. Did a bunch of Cat 5 crit's, with my best finish a 3rd in the last race of a weeknight series. Wife was watching and I gave it my all to impress her. LOL. Upgraded as soon as I could to 4. One 4th in a M50+ crit since then; Two DNF Cat 4 crit's, and one almost DFL in a Cat 4 RR. Still on the steep part of the learning curve and the training curve, so I'm constantly setting personal bests. I have several goals for next season, all part of becoming "the best I can be" at this. I just became a charter member of a new team (at a brand new LBS), and I'm looking forward to contributing however I can, and learning team tactics. Love cycling. Love racing.
