Limewave - take a deep breath - you will do fine! Congrats on upgrading to a Cat 1. The distances are a bit tougher initially, but you will get used to it. Like someone else said - go out and ride your own race.

Aggie - so proud of you for finishing! Remember that DFL > DNF > DNS. Achieveing little goals in the races is a terrific accomplishment and it sounds like you are really improving.

Good luck to both of you! My first race of the season is 4/17, and it's one that I love. for once, I'm actually looking forward to it .
