The worst part of being so worn out is the weather turning, my bike is in 30 pieces and even if I had the time to put it together, I certainly wouldn't have the time to ride it. I'm half way home though. 11 days until a day off. <br /><br />27 days until the first race of the year. I may have time to get enough form not to DFL. <br /><br />I want training rides to kick my ass now.<br /><br />I think the goal is to bonk hard on the first "real" ride of the year. Who's gonna hurt me?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/187713497325341192-8291268698112059298?l=skidsy.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Skidsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17330056863778334258noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-187713497325341192.post-854954448345014062007-03-17T15:43:00.000-06:002007-03-17T17:33:32.946-06:002006 was the first year I tried my hand at track racing at the National Sports Center in Blaine. I went into the season having little to no expectations for results and wound up upgrading from the the slowest field (Category 4/5), to Category 3 and then mixed it up with the deliverers of pain in Category 1/2. In the process I qualified for the national championship in the distance disciplines and did even held my own in some of the sprint competitions. Heading into the 2007 season I find making goals to be a daunting task. I want to improve but don't want to look back at the end of the year and be disappointed when I haven't repeated the success of last year. <br /><br />Here are the results from last year as a measuring tape;<br /><br />Cat 4/5<br />Nights Raced-5<br />Warm-up Races Won-4<br />Sprint Races Won-2<br />Distance Races Won-4<br />Omniums Won-4<br /><br />Cat 3<br />Nights Raced-4<br />Warm-up races Won-2<br />Sprint Races Won-0<br />Distance Races Won-3<br />Omniums Won-3<br />*3rd Place in Category 3 Points Race Championship*<br /><br />Cat 1/2<br />Nights Raced-5<br />Warm-up races Won-0<br />Sprint Races Won-0<br />Distance Races Won-0<br />Omniums Won-0<br />*3rd Place in State Points Race Championship*<br />*3rd Place in State Scratch Race Championship*<br />*5th Place in State Keirin Championship*<br /><br />Upon review, my goals for 2007 are;<br />-Win 3 Races<br />-Finish on the podium in 3 sprint races<br />-Qualify for Nationals again<br />-Get the DS to be my madison partner/learn madison exchanges and etiquette<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/187713497325341192-85495444834501406?l=skidsy.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Skidsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17330056863778334258noreply@blogger.com12
