My first MTB race of the season is tomorrow, and I've already been nervous for over a week. The bike is prepped and ready to go, and I have been training all winter... Still not sure that I am ready though.

Last year, I upgraded to Expert (now Cat 1 in the US), and typically was behind the leaders by quite a bit. I am hoping this year to improve, and not always be last . AND I am racing on our club's Elite MTB team as the only woman - no pressure or anything .

Forecast for tomorrow's race is 60% chance of rain with temps in the low 50s, and rain today and overnight. It should be fairly muddy.

I'll post here after the race, if I can ever get those darned butterflies to stop doing backflips.
