Racing Thoughts

I'm feeling better. I've heard from a couple of people now that a detox can make you feel sore. So I guess I'll chalk up how I felt to the diet. Today is my last day on it, and I can hardly wait until tomorrow to have a piece of chocolate!

I was looking at the flyer for the Southern Nevada Stage Race yesterday (click here for to see the flyer), and I was impressed with what I saw. I really would like to see more races here in Utah ran the way they are running theirs. For one thing, they give the Cat 3 women the option of racing with the Cat 4s or with the Cat 1s and 2s. Nothing scares me (or most others from what I hear) away from upgrading to Cat 3 more than the prospect of having to race against women who are much stronger and faster than you are. If I had the option to race either way, I would be way more motivated and excited to upgrade.

The other thing I noticed about this race was that they are paying out to the women's Cat 3-4 group. $400. Unheard of here in Utah.

Can you tell that I'm thinking of doing this race? The only issues for me are 1) travel - I would have to drive to Las Vegas, 2) the expense of gas and motel, and 3) the race is at the end of FEBRUARY. Can I be ready in six weeks?
