And another track session done and dusted... 3 pb's, flying 200, standing 500 and 5m TT, so well pleased with that!
25m TT tomorrow night... not on a fast course, so not expecting a pb...
how did the TT go??

Not many miles for me this week.
Tip of the week
If you have a new bike. Protect it when its being stored by gong to B@Q and buying some of that grey pipe insulating stuff. Like foam.
It comes in two sizes and last time I got some I think it was 69p a length. One size fits toptubes perfectly. The smaller size fits rear stays a treat.
Its brilliant and your bike I guarantee will never get scratched either in the shed, garage or house. Good for when your other half DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO STAND YOU BIKE UP AND leans it on the top tube.
STAGGER get some for your new bike mate.
What a belter of an Idea daz!Quote:

just been watching the giro - emmi has onviously missed her dream race - where you get to wear pink everything if you are winning!! from your bike to to your helmet to the arms of your sunglasses!
got out on the road bike with my scabs today - managed 25miles, 2500feet, 1:40 so average speed of 15mph :-)
Should have posted yesterday... Cycled to the pub for tea, but added a bit on, so 10 miles in total. The pub is only about 1.5 miles away....
Well, I cycled... TT went well... hard conditions, very windy and cold, but the legs were doig ok and I stunned the gathered clubmates with an excellent time on that course on the day. Not a great time in the big scheme of things, but compared to the people who turned up, I was doing well. Shocked the other girl in the clb as well as her coach who seems to have it in for me this year. Two faced fella, as he was the one who thought I was fab last year, but made some mistakes and almost put me of cycling...
He though his protegee wpould storm past me and be much faster, as it stands, she wasn't! He asked me what I was on and how on earth I was suddenly so much faster than last year... well, I train for it now... He made another demeaning comment... then said on a good day you'd do sub 1.05... So I replied: no, actually, on a good day I go under the hour. He says: in your dreams girl. So I say, well, I have already ridden under 1.05, and my pb is 1.03 xx upon which he said: I don't believe that! I really don't get it, why would he doubt my pb time? WEIRD!
So that was Thursday... On Friday my legs still ached from the TT but went and did a very good, hard session at the velodrome as well. Going brilliantly at the moment and still progressing! I was even leading the points race at some stage! That was a first...
Easy recovery ride for me today in the wind and only a little rain :)
next time you race her be sure to " whoop her ass " !
For sure Lilactime :)
Been out for just over 3 hours, doing about 100 kms, hilly... It was sunny but very windy, so well pleased with the ride. Also, this was by far my longest ride since Majorca training camp, as I hardly have time to fit in anything longer than about 2 hrs between racing and working. Working all weekend, hence no races, so got up early and did a decent ride before work, with a friend. We even had a coffestop, very unusual for me :)
Feeling strong and love being on the bike, was on the Ti racer today! Happy days :) :)
