2010 Cycling goals (revised, once again)

I revised these goals once again now that the 2010 calendar is out and several races I planned on banking points on are not included.  Plus, with the addition of some new races out-of-state, I'll be traveling during the important races.

1-  Race well at the Big Cycling events of 2010:  Tour of the Depot, Tour of the Gila, Tulsa Tough, Cascade Classic, Steamboat Stage Race

2-  Finish Gila TT inside of 38min. 
------------How to:  Increase lactate threshold power.  Work on TT position.  Do early CO TTs.  Buy a TT bike!  This should land me in the top 10.

3- Finish top 5 at Gila Stage Race.
------------How to:  Drop body weight and body fat percent.  I'd like to get down to 165 lbs. for this race, but 170 is probably more likely.  I'm 180-185lbs. now and I haven't been below 175 lbs. in several years, so this is a stretch and will require a dedicated effort.  Other objective is to improve climbing ability.  I'll probably start training in the hills after work in the month prior to the race.  Specific hill climb races will also help with this.

4- Win Sprinter's Jersey at CSP mid week criterium series
------------How to:  Consistently show up for the races and give it a shot.  I did this Wednesday afternoon race series this year and it was a blast.  I missed a bunch of races, but at one point, I had the sprinter's jersey.  The races are laid back, safe, and really fun because there is little stress.

5- Three top 10 finishes in road or crit races.
------------How to:  Maintain focus and discipline in the high intensity training portion of the mid to late season.  This one is really a crapshoot..  I don't know if this is achievable or not.  Many (if not nearly all) of the races finish with a break escaping the pack.  I don't have the power to stay with the break, so that relegates me to sprinting with the bunch.  I was a decent sprinter in the 3s, but in the p12 races, I haven't had much success.
