It's been really cool watching him race this year. He went from being somewhat of a Colavita/Parisi wallflower last road season, showing up only for races where the team sprang for the entry fee, to an average Cat 4 'cross racer last fall. This year, he trained a whole bunch and eat vegetables and stuff and turned in a pretty good racer. He's also a big part of what makes the team cool.
It was really nice to go to Boss Cross No. 3 and see the spectacle that was Colavita Corner. For those who weren't there, it was basically a cacophony of teammates dressed up in various states of holiday fare banging away at some noisemaker or another. TCPC in one short year has evolved from a small patchwork group of mostly-novice racers to a permanent fixture on the local scene. Dan O. has been a really good president. Britton K. has been a great sponsor. The rest of the team has been an accumulation of good all-around folks. Last weekend was a portrait in what makes a good cycling team, or any team for that matter.
For me, it's shaping up to be another lost season. I'm not racing well, which is a function of not being in good shape. It's been a crazy year. Every year is some sort of new adventure. I've been really busy this year, work-wise and personally. It'll be good to settle things down some and get back out there and train more. I'd really like to get back to the point I was at last February. That'll take a shitload of work, but that's OK. There are lots of busy guys on the team who are making it work and succeeding at the weekend races. No reason I can't do the same.
