I have to work for UCLA RR, which is one of the races I can do well in (i.e. has elevation). A huge bummer, I'm debating getting someone to cover but in the same token I'm 10 lbs overweight. I just haven't been losing weight like I did last year. Mainly because I'm not willing to go to bed hungry. I'm trying, its just hard to train and lose 2 lbs a week.
