Back to Basics

There has been no racing action for the last two weeks and I still have another two weeks until the next one so right now it's been all about getting back to normality training day in, day out trying to move myself on just that little extra bit before the business end of the season begins. Next up is the next leg of the World Championships Series in Hamburg, Germany.

So life has been pretty monotonous as of late with my time only being filled up by training, sleeping and eating. It's a pretty simple lifestyle but an enjoyable one when the training is going well. I did wheel over to the annual Falkirk 10mile time trial championships last Thursday night. It`s a pretty hilly course so a 23.30 was a decent effort by all accounts for my attempt. I have never done a proper time trial before and it hurt.... a lot. I was hurting after two miles, was in more pain at five miles, started losing the rhythm at mile 7 and the last mile was just hell. Roll on the next attempt....
