On another note, as I missed the race I went out for originally an easy ride but then I decided to smash myself. Managed a 1 min effort (which I didnt think was max) at 700W which is a new peak for that time. Then smashed myself for 10laps around SOP tennis centre. Did it in 23min (39km/h) and held 326W (335NP) very happy with that.

What a shame for the additional costs. Not sure what the alternative is in September... Bloody hard to peak twice in the season, but 3 times???

In the third race, winners race, I was late to the marshalling area (with no warm up as usual) and started last and got stuck behind a guy that pulled his foot, so before we had started I was over 20m off the back, the other guy did a small turn and swung up. So I came through to bridge the gap but didnt want to do a massive effort to do it. It ended up being about 4 laps sitting just off the back as the speed picked up when the first sprint lap came. I just got back on for the second sprint when the guy that pulled his foot came around me to sit on nicely and I lost another few meters. I got back on then almost straight away there were about 4 off the front for the second last sprint (and they stayed away for the last one). Hard race of chasing for nothing.
I decided to ride the timeblaster at the end, I was 6th in line and sitting in behind the guys infront seemed ok but on the front was really tough. I did a lap swung up but didnt have the legs to jump back on the back of it, so I lasted 6 of the 30laps. Not to unhappy, good night in the end. Hopefully next weekend I will be over the chest infection and will be feeling a lot stronger. Tomorrow I might try and ride out at Heffron, weather permitting.

Friday night I went to Raw after 2 days of commuting and my first week of placement I was not feeling great but I had already used my 2 weeks so needed to show up. Warm up scratch was a struggle started at the front did a lap and rolled off couldnt get an easy spot in the middle so rolled to the back and never saw the front again. Rolled around covered a few gaps as the race blew apart and just finished around the middle somewhere. Second race was a 4up 3 lap sprint. First lap was at a pretty cruisy pace I was sitting in 3rd wheel. During the second lap I started thinking about starting the sprint early and then just past halfway the guy infront of me swung up and thought that was my chance and just gunned it got a gap and held it looked back with about 50 to go had a good 30m or so gap so sat up a bit and rolled over in first. Last race of the night was a Madi-Lead, late to the start started at the back and as the race blew apart people making up to 50m gaps I didnt have the strength to close them but me and 2 others chased a group of about 8 off the front but couldnt close it. Went past a couple of people dropped by that group in the last couple of laps and rolled over in 6th or so a good 50m off the leaders.
Sat I race A grade at SOP. Was still not feeling very fresh or good and with a few NRS boys there I knew it wouldnt be fun. Again first 15min was very tough with attacks left, right and centre tried a couple myself but didnt have the strength. Two got away and it settled down with not many people wanting to/having the legs to chase. I did a few small turns of the front but after one a few people attacked and it put me well into the red and nearly got dropped stopped doing any turns. Then later on when the chase had given up I was just rolling around on the front not too hard then there was a big attack and 4 got away splintering the race up into little groups eventually the 2nd group (2 leaders a long way infront still) got caught by the 3rd group and that allowed my struggling 4th group to get back in. After that there was not much pace till the last lap. Not feeling I had the legs I didnt push for wheels for the sprint and around the last corner got cut off a bit by a guy trying to sneak up the inside who I just let in so lost speed and ground. Tried to push for some sort of sprint but didnt have it and rolled over in 7th or so. No great numbers or anything just struggled through it really.
Sun I did a long solo ride. I went out to the RNP and did 1 lap than out to waterfall and back again. Averaged about 28km/h solo for the 105ishkm so happy with that and about 205W Avg power happy with that. Plan for the week is commute for the rest of the week, 2x20 trainer session, Tues 4or5x5 on Thurs, Raw Fri then I need to find a race for Sat then I have Tour of August hill climb Sun and after that I will probably ride 100+ out there. Thats the plan anyway lets see how much I can actually do.
