Upgrades!
OK, my dad really helped me out this last week by getting me some sweet upgrades for Junior Nationals. He picked up a set of Mavic Tri-Spoke Carbon Tubulars, Dura Ace cranks and cogs, and a few FSA chainrings. I went ahead and had a new stainless chain put on this weekend as well, and I really like how much better the bike handles. Man, the wheels are FAST! I raced in the Elite Regionals this weekend, even though I am junior-gear restricted and didn't expect to place well, so that I could break them in and get comfortable before heading out to LA. I actually did a PR in the 200-meter time trial, dropping my time by almost .7 seconds. Down at the track a lot of my teammates are older juniors who have won a ton of stuff and national championships, so they have some really sweet gear. I know it is about the rider and not the bike, but it was still nice to get this gear and pimp my bike out some! LOL!
