break 4.40w/kg for FTP (stretch, but doable); currently at 4.01w/kg, ~10%
get to 67.5kg by end of December, currently at 69.3kg, down from 71.5kg a few weeks ago; 66.5kg by early April
not taking big gaps in training and training smarter

racing:
enter more races
get in meaningful breaks and learn to attack shrewdly
better my skills at surfing wheels and cornering amongst skittish riders
learn to tail-gun like CDR and WR in order to avoid surges
upgrade to Cat 3
podium in a few Collegiate B races
most importantly, racing safe

bike related:
barring significant expenses such as the need to replace shifters, limit my bike spending to $400 from now until the end of 2012

work/life related:
get a better schedule, as my old schedule impacts training and recovery
even though ewangs are effing useless, this one has been fait accomplis. Currently at 4.50w/kg. First race tomorrow, and it'll be a 52 mile road race in the rain. I think i'm ready.

And screw weight. If it goes down more, i'd be ecstatic, but i'm happy sitting at 69kg.
