LONG TIME NO SPEAK?

It has been too long since I last posted, so many apologies for that,



Early February was a carbon copy of January with a leg injury striking again in exactly the same place.

This was due to racing cross country in a club hosted running event, and although I knew that I should have stopped? I foolishly ploughed on causing more damage.



Most of February was spent trying to get better and yet still keep up the hard work.

I managed fairly well and was able to do a 65mile sportive which had a few hills? one which was 16% and made the leg tighten up, but I survived and kept the mileage up.



March was a good improvement with the running now up to 16 miles and although not enough long rides done yet a 60 mile sportive felt surprisingly comfortable and felt OK at the finish and I recovered well over the next day or so.



I have been able to stay committed to the turbo though,and particularly a hard hill climbing session devised by Lance Armstrong's coach ! So hopefully that will pay off come July.



A few cyclosportives have been looked at and the next one that i have entered,moves the distance up to 82 miles in distance.



I then have a 2-day peak district weekend planned with 3 very hilly sportives planned in the 100 mile distance bracket in the Peak district, north york moors and snowdon so hopefully that will prepare me for what is required.



So after a good start, a big 2 month hiccup, things are now coming together again and looking more positive.
