back again

Firstly I have to say sorry for the lack of posts, after a trip away and another illness to add to the tally for the year, with only 1 event left to ride and having had a couple of weeks of very little training, I think it may be time to rap for the year.
So its time for a rest to separate this season from next and to come up with a game plan for the winter and next year.

In the words of the governor 'Ill be back'

Last race for a few weeks today, so I thought I had better make it a good one. As it turned out I did a power and time Pb for the local course with 406w av and 19:48, shame the time keeper disagreed, I think he should have gone to spec savers!. Other than that, all was good. Now for a couple of weeks rebuild to finish the season on a high note.

I re-learnt a valuable lesson this weekend, make sure your equipment is fit for purpose and working properly, after making the 120m round trip and putting in a tt effort for 43 miles, I had to pull out of the 50tt on Sunday. All started well, felt really good, went through the first 25 in 51:52. But I was having some discomfort from the chamois in my suit. It started getting worse and worse until I had to stop on the side of the road at 32 miles, tried to sort the problem, and continued on, at 43m enough was enough and I decided to call it a day before I lost the ability to father anymore children!
Other than that it was a good ride and a good indicator of form averaging 360w for the distance I did cover, although I think a PB was pretty much a dead cert, so as they say 'such is life'.
So, after a day off today to let me 'recover', I have an open event on Wednesday on my local club course, and off to France on the weekend for a working holiday.

until next time.
