4th Place

Yesterday i had my best result yet..4th!! i was so happy and so nackered. before the start of the race i was sure i was going to do poorly as it was very windy and quite cool. i always struggle in these conditions. but im happy to report that i didnt give up no matter how much it hurt.  i only got dropped form the lead group on the second last lap and i sprinted away from the guy who finished 5th. so happy, im in a world of hurt today but its good pain.  i went for my recovery ride today. managed to hold a good average speed but my legs felt quite heavy.  I will have a swim tonight to try and loosen up some more and then a rest day tomorrow.

bring on the rest.. Really i am so motivated now. i really want a 3rd place or higher! i’m slowly getting faster with more stamina, it takes time-still loosing weight but im definitely the heaviest out there still.  hopefully a couple of the other guys in our division will go up a grade which will help the slower amongst us hang on some more.

Happy happy happy!

Catch up

Ok, its been a while since my last post. things are coming along well, but unfortunatly work was pretty hectic last week with a few days working night and day. anyway this week its all back to normal and time to get some good training in. With the hectic work week training was difficult due to my disturbed sleep and little time to spare. unfortunatly my diet went a bit waywood as well.

Really looking forward to this weeks training. Lots of new things including comuting to work on the bike each day. Also looking forward to this week having 2 races on thursday night and saturday. 

I have also been suffering from a slight cold, which seems to go away and come back a little each time i put and effort in on the bike.

Happily back to normal.
