RIGHT NOW I LIKE …

The team has been training well and we have put together some nice early season races on both the men’s and women’s side. We have been having fun and I believe that is a key to continued success.

RIGHT NOW WE NEED TO IMPROVE …

Need to do some fine tuning, really start working on the little things. Those steps now will be meaningufl at the end of the season.

ANYTHING ELSE YOU’D LIKE TO SAY ABOUT TEAM …

I am looking forward to watching the team’s success. I think we have a great group and I am excited to watch their progression.
