I am trying to drop 20lbs. And I know I can accomplish this before January easily if I focus. I have a feeling that I could get up into Cat 3 by the end of next summer if I can get down to 170-175 from where I am now at 195. I have only done 1 mass start so I am solidly a Cat 5, but am pretty sure I could get up to Cat 3 if I can lose the weight and get going early next season.

Any tips are very much appreciated.
