Any cyclists in here?

Hey y'all -

new here but with specific cycling-related goals and found this thread in search. I am a female Cat3 amateur racer.

Two seasons ago I went to collegiate nationals, but since then I've gotten a demanding job and have gained an extra 10lbs that didn't come off even with lots of racing last year. What with work and all I train 8-10 hours a week, self coached with HRM/power. I made this account to get serious about returning to race weight while preserving power and not getting sick. I am already 95% there... but the last bit is what's hardest.

Anyways, pleased to meetya! My diary is open to friends if anyone is in a similar boat or wants to help me out. I'll be around until I get back to competition weight.
