My women's racing team had our monthly social last night. It was fun -- we met at a great ethiopian place and chatted about training and next seasons goals and training camp and holiday plans and etc. Nine of us were able to be there, 5 or so others were previously committed. Our team is getting bigger and stronger. That's cool.

First Sunday in January we're having our annual open house for women interested in racing to come and check us out. I went to one two years ago, and last year it was at my house. I met women there that I raced with all season. I'm excited to see who will turn up this year.
