Off like a rocket.... well the rest of the field in the 30 minute race were. I was stuck trying to clip in to stupid one sided pedals... anyway, first dark side race at Milton keynes was not off to the best start.
A bit of a gap developed in the 50 rider field between my group and the leaders - no problem, ill just jump accross like they do in the tour.... LOL not a chance, 5 laps and later and im still doing all the work whilst the rest of my group sit behind.
This is stupid... I'm stupid! why not sit at the back like they are??? Good idea, lets ease up... oh, no one wants to overtake me, they are just weaving about the road behind in my slipstream, meanwhile the leading group are extending their lead.... Bloody tactics!
I have had enough, i'm sitting right up and letting them past... thats better i can sit at the back and recover. Except they keep sprinting from the sharp corners that i don't like forcing me to go flat out to keep in the group..
At last some respite. they are slowing up to fight over 15th place. a few laps to recover....
The Bell! one lap to go, the speed is immense, last straight before the 180 degree turn on the mini roundabout, someone goes past, i'm on their wheel and past the group sprinting it out. 18th I think... not too bad then? I need a few cool down laps to recover....
fun? no, good speed training, yes! not that it will help much at Dusk til Dawn. ;0)
