55th

just checked bikereg.com (use "date entered") and see that i was the 55th person to sign-up for master's 30-34 at nationals out of 107 registered entrants. unless i can beg a call-up (which is about as likely as seeing a giant squid attack a submarmine), this will be a fun race, a battle to get into the top 20. thom was the 58th person to register, so looks like we'll be lining-up side-by-side (though his chance of getting a call-up with a pair of wins and a slew of top 10's would seem a lot more likely).

cyclocross categories according to USA Cycling would have me as a cat 2 (which means i'm sandbaggin' these B races), but they didn't update that part of my license with the semi-pro upgrade, plus i've only finished 3 of these things. what to do this wknd, what to do... told myself i'd go to elite after a B win, but thom delayed that move with his huge effort last sunday...
