Did 144km 2000m yesterday, with much stronger riders than myself. Had to walk a few hundred metres of two of the 25%+ climbs. But the general pace was up. Lots of 45kph on the flats. Feel my confidence on descents is improving, but am cautious not to let confidence grow faster than technical skill. Am getting new wheels in 2 weeks, which should handle better.
Only felt like doing a flattish 60k today, but some of the lads wanted a bit more, so the group split and I went with the 'more' guys. After 30 minutes the pace was up, with lots of rabbits to catch, and my energy improved. Ended up doing 80km 800 metres, consisting of 12%, 17%, and a couple of 15%ers.
Seems I'm the first aid guy a lot these days. On the way back, this middle aged woman comes around the corner on a bike path, and her rear wheel just slips out on the leafy debris. She goes down and clobbers her elbow on the concrete nice and hard. Anyways, Good chance of a stress fracture of the end of the humerus.
434km for the last 7 days. including 2 full on crit race training sessions. So I'm pretty much a spent force.
