Just when I was having a bad day, things start to look up. I got an email from the DS of the Combined Armed Forces team, looks like I'll be racing for them after I return. I got to talk to Debra and she's going to get my category upgrade done for me. I get to do Nationals this year!!
Her and I will talk more at the race in a few months, and of course we'll be emailing back and forth quite a bit.
Today wasn't too bad. I was able to do 3 hours with the team, doing some drills. We did echelon drills into the wind. It's been a long time since I did that kind of practice and I'm afraid I wasn't the best at it. I need to work more, I know that, I also need to work on just being comfortable riding with handlebars touching, knees, elbows, etc. In a race I can do that, it's all part of racing, but in training it's harder sometimes. I find myself thinking too hard, and I get stiff on the bike. That's the opposite thing that needs to happen. It'll take practice, but I can do it. It's just a matter of doing it over and over.
Not much to write about today. I'll have more in the next couple of days.

That is good news about the team slot. That should be a good opportunity.
Wind.......uh aren't you used to that? Shoulda been with me today, all the way back from Swansboro. Straight into it 16+ with gusts....gotta love it solo:)
