Oh, Forgot to mention....

That's Christmas over, now back to hard training, although saying that, I did manage to squeeze in a 10 mile cycle ride on Christmas day. Then again on Boxing day!!

 Oh, forgot to mention....

I had a Cyclo-cross race earlier in December, I would've liked to have done better though. 

I started off badly so I was then stuck behind two U14 riders (they are fast for their age mind you). I finally managed to over take them, but by this time 1st, 2nd and 3rd were gone, I was never going to catch them.

I relaxed into my cycling and eased off a bit, only to find Will just behind me, a race was on! 

We raced and raced for a few laps, he overtook me, so I thought I'd better up my game, I took him back on a flat stretch of grass where I knew I could put some power down. 

After this, I broke away from him and got about 20 seconds on him by the end.

I came 4th. I am pleased with this considering I had not done any training for 2 weeks before hand. Come on it's Christmas, you're allowed to have a break... aren't you??!!
