2009 Race season Goals
What are your 2009 Race season Goals?
What are you doing to reach your goals? Same thing as last year or something new?

Same as last year: survive and not get lapped. Sometimes low expectations are entirely reasonable.

#1 goal was to upgrade to the 3s (ok, not a very high goal, I admit). . With a victory over the weekend I have enough points to upgrade, so now I need a new goal.
Hmm, this thread seems familiar. Oh yeah, it was done in the road racing forum...
Looks like being competitive in 3s is my next goal. I will have to gain 20W FTP or lose 4kg for my other goal...

That is if I have the cajones to actually try racing out. I may just need to stop talking about it, get my license, and register for a race.

Keep up with cat3s on the weekend hill climb. That's a REALLY tough task for me - right now, I can barely hang with good 4s on the weekend climbs, but that's not so bad I guess considering I'm still a relative noob on the bike.

Good 4s will usually climb faster than the slower 3s.
