I'm going to race next year; the last two I planned on doing it but never got around to it. This year I'm commiting myself.
I do plan on doing it seriously, but I'm a 36 year old with asthma and other health issues. I don't plan on winning races, SoCal's race scene is pretty competitive, but I do plan on competing. The main reason I want to race is for the Everest Challenge; I'll also try some other races as well. There's a weekly practice crit a few miles from here which should get me used to it.
