getting set

well, after a boat load of training and knocking out a big strength block after the tour of welly things are finally getting set up for nationals.
ive been track racing a bit on a stupidly small gear to try get some speed up and its been going ok, been altitude training as well which has made me bloody tired, thankfully its the last day tomorrow then i should start to feel remotely human again which will be mint!
at the moment om not to sure what races ill do at nationals, the individual pursuit and teams pursuits are certains, but im not to sure yet if ill put myself through the ringer in the points yet, and ill probably do the scratch, but will depend on the day.
i finally got paid the new caledonia prize money the other day so my bank account is looking alot better!! only taken since the end of september for it hahah.
off down now to try and get the battle truck its warrant of fitness, here’s hoping!!!

tour of welly

time for a bit of an update, just got back from the tour of welly, and things went rather well.
for the track team it was more of a training race and a bit of a get together more than anything else, with our eyes on targets further down the road.

we managed to get one of us in most of the moves for every stage, which was mint, and even managed a sneaky podium in the last crit after tucking into a group with wes and taking a lap on the field.

travis meyer showed his complete class and dominated most stages of the tour, a real professional rider, sure hes going to hit the big time soon.

not to much coming up for me, apart from wine fest this weekend,which will be a nice little day off, then the benchmark 8 race next weekend, then rolling into track nationals which will be a good starting point in the build up for worlds!

ive also just re-signed with cervelo for another year-so a big thanks to them for supplying me kick ass rigs to roll round on!

thats about it for now, time to go smack the erg up a little bit
