This weekend will host the first race of the season on
the Guatemalan calendar. I won't be at the start line for the
"Presentacion por el equipos" which is translated into Team
Presentation. It's a criterium of 45 minutes or so in the central parts of
Guatemala City with a team presentation after the race. Last year I finished in
the top group (20-30 left of over 120 starters) which was very unexpected but
fun.
I will miss out on the first races, including Tour la
Paz which has 10 foreign teams coming this year, and the first qualification
race for the Olympics in Tokyo as well as a "Clasica" (national elite
stage race). I might be back in Guatemala for the second Olympic qualification
and the second Clasica but if they are going to be raced on high altitude it
will be very, very, very hard since I won't be acclimatised.
I have no main goals with the season really because I don’t
know when I will be in Guatemala or in Sweden. I have scratched the Vuelta
Guatemala as my main objective because the Guatemalan cycling federation
requires me to participate in 4 out of 5 races on the national calendar to be
eligible for a Guatemalan team. I still hope I can race it, either with a local
team or a foreign one.
Main objective is to improve throughout the season,
learn, have fun and create memories for life.
