This just isn't adding up.

Have you raced at all against other elite women?

It's one thing for your goal to be an elite racer, it's another thing to say that you are. It seems that that is your goal (and we are here to help everyone with their goals), but it seems that you haven't done much yet or paid any "dues" in the peloton.

It doesn't take a terribly long time for a talented racer to make it on the scene. But, some time must be spent in moving up the ladder.

I probably sound like an ass for writing that, but it's been on my mind for a while.

All we know about you is what you tell us. This is the portrait that you have painted.
