Created on Wednesday, in Horwich. Edited for a bunch of spelling.....
Ah, later on Friday afternoon I started having the shits. My insides just fell out in the form of rusty water. Now this started as I was thinking about leaving for the long drive home. The traffic on the M6 was awful. I had to keep stopping at service stations to squirt. Arrived home almost leaking, had to run to the bog. Felt bad all Saturday. Not till late Sunday did I stabilise. Went to R in Dartford Monday. We had fireworks on monday evening. Oooh, wizz bang etc. Joanne and her boyfreind condescended to watch and she even had sparklers. The drive home on Monday was stunning ! Free flowing traffic up round the M25 onto the M1, just one slow bit on the M1. Very odd. Now after that horrible weekend I decided to ease off on the alcohol, even though it was a stomach bug I had. I also had my first weeks training schedule from my coach. I am determined to succeed next year. Follow the schedule, which basically has THREE turbo sessions, (4 including Tuesday) and 2 sets of body exercises, 2 hours steady on Saturday morning and Sunday club run. For the time being.
Did circuits yesterday evening, took things steady.
I do feel fairly determined to acheive something next year, a sort of quiet confidence, that my training over the past 18 months, and the training schedule and expert coaching to come will get me there. I'm going to get a BC licence and go for RR points and ride the National Veterans series, and also I want a shot at the National hill climb. Well, if I have something to aim for I can hit it. Unlike this year when I just rode and raced, no real plan. Now this evening I will do turbo work, stretching & yoga, get some healthy stuff from Asda, watch tv & sleep. Getting up in the morning to do 2 circuits as prescribed by my coach.
