    Re: [RC] weight divisions - Maggie Mieske


    OK, now it makes sense...sort of.  :)  What do you think would be to my advantage though?  Add weight and stay a HW especially as we move closer to our goals of top tenning consistently and standing for BC?  (BC being my ultimate goal.). Or do you feel that 1/2 a point per pound is not going to make that much difference?  I do not want to rely on weight as a boost on scoring.  Malik gets GREAT vet scores and I think that will be our strength.  But still...what is the smart thing to do?  I think my new saddle will weigh less than my old.  I guess if I start out the season as a HW and lose weight, I can add something to make it up.  I was surprised at this last ride to discover that I had gone from weighing in at 220 last May to 213...a little close for comfort.  (Two years ago I was weighing in at 230.)  And it was on the same scales as May!  Anyway, just strategizing for next year already (yes, I have already crossed the days off for next year's rides and am researching some not too far out of state rides!!!).  I told Steve this sport was addictive!!
