Training is going well!
Have been hit with a cold and forced to take a few days off but nothing too serious.
Have been on rollers, have used turbo trainer, have raced on the track at the velodrome (got a win on Friday hey look at me.....there's enough girls now to give us our own group which is brilliant).
I have even done another cross race a bit different this one it was a Madison cross.
Madison in cycling basically means a relay and its supposed to happen on the track. Alex and I paired up at Clayton Vale for Phil Braybrooke;s Christmas event and I rode in the 70s purple kit which the Midland riders of Halesowen profess to be proud of!
Short fast laps for an hour through long grass and mud followed by a technical section into the finish. The conditions, the kit and dad on the microphone made it an interesting day! Actually in terms of training it was really quite hard.
Have now got interviews for university's to prepare for and also exam set number 3 for A levels so life is quite interesting again!
Speak soon
