Training Log Archive: Post

Started in the B group this year instead of A, with the intention of working at the front of a pack instead of behind. Was hanging in the middle-front of one up until the narrows bridge, then Jamie and i got dropped on the downhill run, and we worked hard until glendalough to catch back up.

Was really struggling by this stage and got dropped for a final time at Warwick. Recovered for a few k's and rode at the front of a small pack from there until the final hill up to hodges drive. Somehow i ignored pain for this and did the master Schleck effort and pulled 100m away from the pack to the finish.

Some nervous moments as always, especially for the first half, and i had a yelling match with some woman who kept on cutting in on people and then slowing down in front of them...why bother passing someone? I had my suspicions that she caused the major accident that i didn't see but only heard. Dropped back to find Jamie and found out that he somehow stayed on his bike when one of the flying bikes hit him in the ripcage. The number of accidents were the highest i've seen, but maybe it's just because i was riding past the carnage that A left behind.

Cruised to East Perth with dad to pick up his car.

Commute to work with an extended lap through kings park.

Lake Monger and a few suburban streets.

A strong wind slowed down the time but it was a full effort to get home in time to make a movie.
