The cross season doesn't really feel like 'cross yet. Yesterdays race was like riding in an oven. Turning a corner into a head wind became such a relief even though you got lungs full of dust. It was the flattest and driest race i'ver ever done with no sections to recover. I went off hard from the start but a few laps in, i was feeling the heat. Maybe my long sleeved skinsuit wasn't the most appropriate thing to wear but i'll be complaining about the cold in a few weeks. I suffered through the thirst and the burning and didn't ease off the pressure and lead the race to a win :) My beautiful bikes road like a dream.
I then road the 25 miles home where I suffered a bit more and got up at 5am this morning for another hour on the road. A bit of recovery is needed now!

Legs burning? Feeling Sick? Must be Cyclocross.

The 1st west Midland race was on sunday in Redditch. It was a really tough course with lots of hills and fast decents.
I had a pretty bad start after a bad gridding position so spent quite a bit of time moving up the field trying to overtake on single track which wan’t easy. After the 1st climb my legs were burning and I was feeling sick but with a bit of time to recover on the decents I soon settled in to a good pace. I had quite a good lead with 2 laps to go so kept the pressure on to win the race.
With a good start to the season i’m feeling quite confident about whats to come and even more determined to make it successful.
