new diary and next weekend down south

I have been asked to write a diary on www.nashvillecyclist.com so I needed to go back and refresh people's memory of what I have been doing over the past couple of months.

Here is a portion of that diary. After ATHENS I hope to have some interesting stories for you.
For those of you who aren't up to speed with what I have been doing over the winter and spring, here is a quick update.

Last fall I signed with Target Training Women's Pro Team. We are team based of mainly northeastern riders, a couple of southern girls and even and one west coast rider.
Target Training is a full service coaching & persona training business that incorporates a tri and bike shop located in scenic Westport, CT. Rick Spear, owner of Target Training, invested in a women's team for 2007 that has great potential on the National/International level in Women's Cycling.

Our racing schedule got rolling in March and shows no signs of slowing anytime soon.
We have already competed in an International race in El Salvador, Redlands Bicycle Classic in CA, US Open Cycling in Richmond, VA and we took our first NRC podium in Jacksonville, FL this past weekend. Next week the team will travel to Athens to participate in the ever so popular Athens Twilight and Roswell Criteriums. This will kick off an eight day racing stint of the SE Crit Series, where Target Training will be competing against the other big guns in the women's peloton. We will travel all over GA, SC and AL to race 7 days of crits.
TT will be looking to bring home a large purse as well as make a name for ourselves in the Women's Pro peloton.

As for my racing, this year already has been a breakthrough year for me. I am totally different rider than in years past. My training over the winter has really prepared me to race at the highest level. I have just come off a very productive weekend for Target Training in Jacksonville, FL and Macon, GA. There were 3 of us racing this weekend at Jacksonville and we took the 2nd on the podium in the twilight crit. In the next month I will be focusing more on some of the big crits and one day races rather than stage races. It seems that my racing strengths are coming on strong and I am hoping to have some good results in the SE Crit Series but it all depends on the team and our goals.
