Nothing for me as I'm ending two weeks of illness, should have been road racing at Bishops Husband. Just a pootle to recover for me now.
What are the rest of you doing.
Getting some good training in on the road tomorrow with a long MTB ride Sunday in preparation for the first NPS next weekend.
Exactly as you, oldgit. Spent the week off the bike fighting off a cold, so the circuit race up at Salt Ayre (Lancaster) isn't on for kme tomorrow. However, will go out training this weekend - chaingang tomorrow and 80 miles in the Peaks Sunday.
supposed to be at SXC kirroughtree
Actually going to inverness to see the missus and partake in some recreational swimming and a jolly round learnie
strained my right calf last week and on gears i could hide it but on SS its pretty much impossible to put effort into my riding
Yep I reckon I need two weeks training to get back the two weeks I've lost?
You'll be lucky!
OG - trying to regain lost weeks is a surefire way to overtraining 😉
I was gutted to fall ill when I did, had a great winters training on the back of cross all set to be bob on for my first race, but all my familly were ill and so were a few mates so the inevitable happened.
Got two guys who are doing their fast one Saturday and watching over me on Sunday, and I'll take it from there.
Problem is I've not got a race booked until late April, I'll have to travel to find one in a few weeks.
Been off the pace a bit with another cold!
Out tonight on mtb, road for an hour or two in the morning, then 7hrs or so on road with club on sunday.
njee20 don't forget I'm not a top end racer, so I'm not that well tuned? I make up the numbers and keep the middle of the field interesting.
I'm in for the aforementioned SXC at Kirroughtree. Weather looks awful and I'm going to be back of the field due to a poor winter of riding (shoddy weather, late nights at work and wedding preparation). This is probably the wrong time to move up a category, but hopefully I'll improve by the end of the year!
Even so, I'd say the ratio of time off:time needed to recover is more 1:2 than 1:1!
Well I supose that would make me race fit again for late April, and though my contempories will have a month on me it's not that bad, after all I did the cross season not many others did.
So while I couldn't ride for two weeks it was dry and sunny, and now I can get back on the bike it's hooning it down.
