It looks official, although the card has not shown up in the mail.

For once, I have a certification other than I.T. related. Yep, I apparently passed everything to become a USA Cycling Coach.  It’s only a level 3 coach, so I won’t have people knocking down my door, yet.
I did put together a training plan for Reagan last year, when everyone knows that you’re better off not telling her what to do. But it worked! Her PR at the Olympic distance triathlon went down another 30 minutes! I even got her hooked on some bike racing. Of course, she wants a ‘cross bike next.

I had a good plan for myself as well, and the training logs showed improvement. However, I needed to show up to races. This year I got to put the money where the mouth is. There are so many great events around here. No more pneumonia, no more moving across the country (twice!), no traveling out to get a tractor. I’m aiming for the Lincoln Spring Classic again. After that, I’ll look into the Iowa Cup series.

Anyone need their rear-end kicked into shape? I’m available.
