Fast Approaching Season!

Today i was sitting looking up at the calendar and realised the first NPS is fast approaching, now im feeling kind of nervous but very excited.

Since i last wrote i have been really getting stuck into my training. For the past week ive been doing lots of interval training all different lengths and ive found it hard as ive not been resting as much as i usually do between stuff like that . Towards the end of the 2 weeks tho i felt like i was coping with it alot better. Im still kind of getting to grips with using the power tap and knowing when to stop my efforts when they deteriorate but im trying to learn quickly.

My weekend up in the Lake District to try

out my new taurine was soo good! The first day we went to Whinlatter and i really enjoyed the trail, but felt not very confident on my bike as the position felt so different. But the next day we rode the North Face Trail at Grizedale and i loved it! My confidence was sky high by the end of it and loved my new racing machine. But unfortunately that was the last time i rode my taurine as the lefty has fault with it so its waiting for a replacement.

Yesterday i went up to macclesfield to train with Jenn and Andy, and as always i came away feeling suitable knackered (which i really like). The session consistent of some 4 minute efforts some sat behind andy and some with me and jenn doing through and off. Was really fun although as usual i managed to over cook most of the efforts. I think i tned to get a little excited but can rarely maintain it, something i definately need to work on. One effort i was on andys wheel with a tail wind and we were going soooo fast! I was thinking please dont hit a pot hole now!

Now im having a rest day which is nice, think im having an easier week this week as im hoping to do a race with Nadine down in Milton Keynes next weekend. Im really eager to start racing, especially road racing. After a horrific day at work today im looking forward to jumping into bed soon, and its not even 6 yet!

Ill try to remember to write more often, im so forgetful :)
