I raced at the track Wed. and came around people in the sprint I would normally have trouble with and did it without any trouble. I also pulled back the biggest break of the night and shreaded the field.
Today I motor paced for an hour in 94 degree heat.
This will be the year for me. Now I rest and take it easy from here on. After nationals I am concentrating on getting enough points to get out of the 3's.

22 days to go
Since the last post I took 2 weeks easy. Between the training and heat I had to back off. Last weekend was an omnium in TN. I took 11th in the cat 3 RR which was a waist of 3 hours of my life. It is so different between Masters and the 3's. The sprint was a joke and I got trapped. The TT that afternoon was better since none of the idiots where around me and I got first. The crit Sunday in the masters 30-40+ was super fast and I ended up with a 5th overall and 1st in the 40+. The cat 3 race was easy and on the last lap I was in 4th going into turn 3 and three guys did a hail mary move on the inside so not wanting to go down I backed off and had to try to pull it back ending up with a 9th.
The week before at the track I ended up with a 2nd in the masters a 9th in the A's and a prime.
This weekend everybody is coming up for the FBCC and I am doing the crits Sunday and an easy ride with Dave Saturday. It will be good to ride with and see everybody.
As for the 22 days left.......That is when I go pick up my national jersey. My attitude is getting very cocky, I am motor pacing at 30-40 mph and I am 12 pounds lighter this year. It is my year to win!!!!!
