skinnyguy - buy some punctuation bro!
You're situation is exactly the same as mine, except I've been riding and racing longer than you, and havent been as successful in obtaining my upgrade to Category 2. 2s nearly always race with 1s, 9 hrs. is a heavy week for me training wise, and no offence intended to racing fields in Ontario, but I'd bet that in the Wash DC area there are more racers/bigger fields.
Will I be winning as a Cat 2? No.
Will I be a valuable part of a team, train hard, make the most of my efforts, and have a big boatload of fun? Yes.
Will I still be a good dad and husband? ask my wife, but I think I do OK.
edit: you could always just focus on crits.
