This past weekend, I had my first "Elite" race win! It was a Cat 1/2/3 field, although it was a small one. Most of the women in my area were out at a stage race, but a few of the big hitters showed up for the crit that we had designated as a team event. My Cat 4 teammates RIPPED it up, taking 2nd (yeah, AllezGirl!!!) and 4th!
I just submitted my upgrade request to USA Cycling. In a few days, I hope to get a little envelope in the mail with my Cat 2 sticker!
Now, I have to start racing against the BIG gals!We'll see if I can't reach my goal of racing in the Liberty Classic next year!

Congrats! I am putting in my upgrade request today... Not sure I am ready for any NRC racing, but it sounds cool to me to say I'm a Cat 2 racer
.
Nice job on the win, too! And remember, a win is a win, regardless of who does/does not show up!
