I guess the bit of weight training and team support paid off. I nearly had a double win weekend Mason Lake and Banana Belt number 2. I missed the win at BB by .0135 seconds, mere inches in a bike throw. I'll try to start my sprint .05 seconds earlier next time to avoid defeat.
After the Boise TT last weekend the team podium is up to 5 in the three states. Not a bad start.
This weekend I'll be on a solo mission at the Independence Valley road race. Last year I was dropped from the chase of three fighting for 4th, but took the sprint for 5th. A good result, but I'd like to improve on it. I'll certainly have more motivation and fresher legs.
My next races will be Piece of Cake in Woodland, WA, then Kings Valley near Corvallis, Brad Lewis Criterium, and then the Walla Walla Stage Race. The latter three events will be team events, with Walla Walla being the big target we'd like to repeat at.
So far the WA scene has been pretty competetive. Ongers at Gin Optics has had a nice March run, Hagens-Berman is on the board with Reynolds and Harm. Carter is under-powered and looking to Tubbs as they should, and BRI is looking for a miracle or the form of Stevenson to appear as it will at some point. The Garage are again large and under-performing and Wines of Washington is more irrelevant than ever with the loss of Stangeland to Gin.
I won't be in the hunt for either the WA Cup or the season points title, but I will be trying for the best results possible when I do show up and I will try to have fun and enjoy the racing when I can make it out.

Report from IVRR? That field looked huge and had some serious PRO representation.
