I don't yet really have any specific way to prepare for races. Tomorrow I'm doing a criterium at Williams College, and I've sat around for a couple hours (actually, I napped) wondering what type of ride I should do today, and how long it should be. In the end I think I'll probably go for about an hour and a half, a mostly rolling course with a mile long climb at the end. We'll see how that works.
So tomorrow's race is a Cat 4/5 criterium, and my first race in about three weeks. I'm excited for it, but I've also decided that I'm going to stay very aggressive. I'm going to force my way to the front, try to stay there, and maybe even attempt to break once or twice. The last crit was disappointing so this time I'm going to go for it early and not think about getting a result - just focus on being aggressive. Maybe I'll wear myself out and then get dropped, but I'm willing to take that chance. I've decided I won't be wearing Middlebury gear, so nobody will really care about me.
Plus, I'm back on track. Which is nice.
