Felt like a better ride in the 4 laps of B grade than last week but the results don’t really reflect it. Sure it was good to circulate & feel like I was putting in some good work into those pedals, it didn’t feel like I was just out there getting dirty & tired for nothing.
With a pretty flat, short 3km loop & 50 odd riders out circulating, the dirt crit format doesn’t leave much time to worry about bike squeaks & tiredness you might be feel, it’s just head down & punch out those laps.
Getting a good momentum & staying off those brakes is the business, with the tight laps you get the opportunity to nail the corners & really jump onto that love-train of rhythm & groove.
Still fading badly but, the legs aren’t there in the end, or more correctly after the 2nd lap which isn’t that much - just 6kms & about 20 minutes of balls-out MTB jiving. Looks like extending my daily commutes from 10kms to 25kms isn’t the nice, neat little answer to MTB stardom I was fooling myself it would be.
Got to get the kays up, got to get some cross training - running maybe? Got to get some form & direction with meaningful goals and, well…. it starting to sound like a lot like hard work.
There’s always tomorrow….pizza sounds nice.
