As of Saturday, I have had 10 mass start races. I submitted my Cat 4 upgrade request Sunday and it was approved yesterday. Here’s a look back at my brief cycling career:
- 2 wins. Both came in my first weekend in the Collegiate Intro category. The races were so short that it was just attack, attack, attack and drop my competition
- 5 additional top 10 finishes (4 came from criteriums)
- All top 50% finishes and never dropped from the main field (yes I’m tooting my own horn, but I have 4 and 3/4 races lined up that will bring down my ego in no time)
Me upgrading has been long overdue and now its time to get some experience in a faster field, one where I’m not certain to make it to the finish line with the pack.
