So things are coming together. Our first team meeting was Monday and everything went well. All the guys seem to be on the same page and focused on racing their bikes. I'll be glad when all of the equipment is sorted out so I can focus on racing it and not buying it but it's a necessary evil. We also have a team camp coming up in a couple weeks which is really exciting. I'm looking forward to taking time off work to ride my bike and getting to know all of my teammates better. It is going to be at Topsail Island, NC, so I'm hoping for warm weather and sunshine, even if it is February.
Racing starts this weekend and I've got that old feeling again. Apprehensive is a proper way to describe it. I'm excited about racing but the first race is always a test. Hopefully all the hard work over the winter will pay off. Being my fourth year racing I've come to know my body and I know my form is on track. I've had some solid rides the past week and the legs are starting to come around. I was fortunate enough to get a spot on a Cat 2 team even though I am still a 3 so there is definitely pressure to get results early and upgrade. And oh yes, the fact that I put the career on hold to race bikes adds another dimension, no pressure.
My next post will probably be after the first race of the season, finally!!!
