last night

Race one is out of the way at the Great Glen summer series, and I’ll agree with JJ- 25 minutes of super effort is not something we’ve been training for! With that being said it felt good to go super hard, of course after looking at Mike Saras’s time I don’t feel like I went nearly hard enough!

It was good to get a majority showing from TWAF, as JJ, NK and I all made the start. PJ will be up in the Notch on Saturday as he tackles Newton’s Revenge- so good luck to him. The remaining TWAF members will embark on a 120 mile road adventure on Sunday- leaving at 4:30am- anyone want to join us?

The only major wrinkle in yesterday was my back went out on me at about 10:30 pm (amazing how you remember the time!) I was trying to do a stretch to loosen up my hip and my lower back on my right side just did something bad. K had to help me to the bad and I was a bit nervous and I’ll admit that I was also in a fair amount of pain. It took me a few minutes to get into a position where I was flat on my back and K grabbed an ice pack and after about an hour of frostbiting my back it seemed to let go and I was able to fall asleep. Amazingly enough I felt fine in the AM and was even able to pedal in- although I took it easy as I didn’t want to be curled up in the fetal position on the North South Road.

We’re getting closer boys, the butterflies are starting to form!
