I have recently followed a few links to other Blogs, and was amazed by the amount of people doing exactly the same as me. Writing about their training and racing in the same way. So I am thinking of changing my posts a bit to alleviate the boredom of any readers I do have. From now on it will be more focused on Entertainment than information, but they may overlap at times. When reading magazines, the race reports are fairly boring, but the best parts are the stats, gossip, quotes, and nitty gritty detail of bike racing, so I will try and incorporate that a little too.
Since my last blog I have been fairly busy. I travelled up to Edinburgh by train to meet up with the Endura team. It was pretty cool and there was lots of cool stuff, but I am worried about how much I am allowed to tell! The team are doing a training and racing block around Nice in February. We are staying in Stephen Roche's hotel and doing the Tour of Medditiranean, Tour de Haut Var, 3 Days of Vaucluse, and Tour of Murcia! When I say we I mean the team. I will be there for the training camp, but not doing the races. Having my first senior race against protour teams would be ridiculous! I would love to do it, but so would does everyone else on the team.
While in Edinburgh I had a deep tissue massage with a Slovakian called Pavol! It was agony, but afterwards I felt better. I have had a lot of experience with different physios and masseuses, and he was definetly the best at massage, despite first impressions. I find the best way of releasing knots in muscle is acupuncture, but I have only had this at physios.
I also went to go see the Ghent Six day which was a blast, but I can't trump Pez cycling's report so I am not going to bother.
Training is going better. My knee is slowly recovering. It is still not perfect but I am making progess. Apparently it is a mild case of patella chondromalacia.
