Track season is still a little ways off here in SD and my focus is still road racing right now, but picked up some new race wheels my track bike. Later in the 2010 season when road racing slows down a bit I may focus a little more on the track and getting my Cat 2 track upgrade. It will be fun to try these 50mm carbon tubulars out and compare to my 2000g non-aero wheels I have been racing on over the past few years. Lets also hope I get accepted to a graduate program near a velodrome. So UW, PSU, & UCLA would all be reasonably close.

Winter Training & Preparation Is Over!
After a few dark months spent on the trainer and logging solid hours on the weekends, finally my 2010 race season is about to be kicked off w/ the BLVD road race. The weather report calls for rain all day tomorrow with 44-55 deg temps, and 15mph winds. I will be testing how well I have prepared for my Cat 3 season. The 68 mile course has 6,000' of climbing so this race should be a great indicator of my fitness.
February will also tell how I compare to the other graduate school applicants of (6) universities. This week I was accepted to both Colorado State and Oregon State. Let's hope the other (4) schools feel the same way.
