Every successful racing season starts long before the first race is even thought about. Luckily I love winter so the cold and snow in the Northeast just adds more ways for one to train. Cross country skiing, climbing, as well as many miles on snowy roads brought me into the fitness I needed for a training camp for two weeks in early March in Tucson with Mazur Coaching. It was a valuable experience, getting to know the guys and getting some warm miles in before the start of the season. 
I did a short stage race there but had a slow start to racing once back home as many of the early season races were cancelled. Coming through April into May, I began racing more and found a number of podiums as well as winning one in early May.
Now I'm heading into what I've been training all winter for, lots of big races. I'll be doing an NRC race this weekend in Wilmington, DE as well as one in Baltimore, MD, and then I am flying out to Belgium for 3 weeks. I'm really excited for this trip as I've never raced abroad and just the learning experience will be huge.
So that's where I'm at currently, and hopefully I'll make for a good read. I encourage you to leave comments, what you like, want to hear more of, criticisms, anything. Thanks for reading.

good luck!!
