It's been a season. Upgrade to cat 4 in 2011, haven't moved vertically since, at least partially due to collegiate racing, but also due to confidence or lack thereof etc. This season I knew I was fit and set cat 3 as my goal. I've done 5 road races this year, won 2, and exceeded the points to upgrade. Was hoping to see cat 3 by the end of the summer, can't believe I made it happen in early June.
I attribute a lot of it to knowing I belong at the front of races and don't let people move by me like I used to.
