Rode with 40 teammates and had pizza and beer afterwards, good times. Kept it easy for the most part. About 3.5 hours, 160 TSS

I raced 3 times today. I'm tired and sunburned (but thankful the warm weather returned). Currently eating pizza and drinking wine so I can get up do the same tomorrow!

Next time wave after I win the sprint!!
Actually I don't remember seeing anyone wave, but I do have good news - a new guy on our team waves at EVERYONE on rides, so you're in luck.

that was as dumb as I thought it might be. 4.5 hours, 100 miles, solo, on my tt bike. like 4100kjs.

Sprints today, little ring only.
When I do sprints I can hit a higher max wattage in my little ring than I do in the big ring. Does that mean I should try a smaller gear when starting to sprint?

Probably. Some people just have a good jump (or weigh more) and are able to get on top of that gear faster. I don't really have a sprint so have been doing a lot of standing starts and sprint workouts this winter.

raced today. short 80min/30 mile race. I didn't feel great but whatever. After the race my ankle is the only more-than-soreness injury from yesterday. Little tendonitis or something.

FTP test today. After a very "off" off season, and pretty much failing my last test (in which I said screw it and set my ftp to 255, which was a lot higher than my average for the 20 minutes), I was able to set it back to right where I was at this time last February. 275 for 20 minutes today, so 262
My workouts just got harder..but it just makes me more excited to start racing again..just another month and a half until the first club race.

depends on how steep it is, but knowing a bit about you i'm assuming it will be steep enough that you have to go upper endurance/low-tempo at a minimum.
have fun!
