Well crap, the call has finally arrived and it's way too early.  My goal for this season was "Cat A by the end of the season"  NOT 3 weeks into the season!  

oh well, looks like it's time to go play with the big boys.  And by that I mean try and finish on the same lap as this dude.  I'll let you know how my a**-kicking goes at Alpenrose
