Got a bit excited early, PRed two climbs early in the piece. Which is nice and all, but made for a very long and painful 99km!

Twiz...
Did the loop out to Lake George yesterday... pissing competition on every hill, and because there wasn't any steep stuff I only lost on the short ones. So - I'm going to get smashed next time we do Corin as punishment for yesterday.
Did Sutton bridge this morning... another puncture. An epic saga in itself, THREE Co2 carts to get back on the road.

It seems every time I head out to the lake it feels like a head wind out and a head wind back.
Annoying.

Yeah, thighs are killing me...and not just in the hamstring area. It's amazing how a one hour long CX race can trash you so hard!. I realize that if I want to break into the top 10 I will have to work hard for next October . Not only lose another 10kgs at least... but start running again, something I haven't done since my last rugby game ( semi pro in France in 1994 )... and running steps a lot... and training really specifically for CX, transitions especially... problem is I will never be a master of this discipline but it is so addictive!.twizzle wrote:Are you SURE this time?toolonglegs wrote:DOMS DOMS DOMS

I still had my thermal top on and couldn't be bothered taking it off, so would this up my hr by a little?

Clocked 27km and 300m at lunch. Very relaxed ride, 23kmp/h average rather than the usual 27-30kmph. Was nice to get out and smell the roses, so to speak.
Will do my 7km commute home tonight, I suspect it will be pretty relaxed unless I get that ever elusive tailwind.

22 kms is my closest descent climb ( the main part of the climb is 6.5kms at 5.5 %, all up is 9kms )... going to have to do some serious k's if I want to do 200,000 meters climbing next year .

But I'm starting to feel stronger - and I'm seeing improvements. I'll keep trying.

Lunch and afternoon rides were productive trips running errands rather than riding for ridings sake. In standard shoes on SPD pedals. The worst.

Today 2 hours ride time on the rollers, kept it at 40kmph the whole time, enough that with a big fan and cold room the sweat was still pouring off the whole time... two 40 minute stints and two 20 minute ones, stopped 5 min in between to stretch, dry off and get some feeling back in my privates.
2 CX Superprestige races on youtube for motivation .
Found a CX race 100kms away on Saturday... might be pushing it a bit to sneak away that long, but 2 weeks school hols starts on Monday so I might have an excuse .

Wrong within 5 minutes, it was threshold pace, less than 10 minutes later onto the PSP, decided to see if I could keep it up for another 10 minutes, then another 10 minutes, then it was until Farrington road (another 10 minutes), put in couple more minutes extra to the end of the PSP.
Next section, lots of corners, lights, cars and. a slipping rear QR. Finally PSP section on river, practice my sprinting 400m at 45kph (not 48kph strava) slowed by traffic, got caught by faster rider (or not riding that far), sat on his wheel, slowed by traffic, had to sprint to get back on, repeat x3 - good chasing down breakaway practice.
Now legs feel like hell and have 60km+ fast group ride for tomorrow, at least not racing for 2 weeks.
