Me too!
If I was someone who had a very good chance to get near the top (well, near enough to matter) I'd be a little pissed that they didn't give us more notice... those guys (and gals) need to set aside their lives for a few weeks to do nothing but time trial. That's the sort of thing you need a little notice on... don't ya think? lol
An announcement 1 week before it begins?
At any rate, I'm not going to win so that's not a major concern.
But, I do hope to improve over last year, as is my goal every year.
2012 Goal 500, Actual #424 US (some duplicates)
2013 Goal 250, Actual #252 US (several duplicates)
2014 Goal = #100 US
There's a big gap of skill between top 250 and top 100, so it will be a challenge for sure. I hope to see a lot of you put in some laps if for no other reason than to compete against your friends!
