Today I concentrated my training on jumping the second doubles on the last straight as I was watching some old videos of people racing at the Bath track which is my local track and they jumped the tabletop, jumped the first doubles maualled the second doubles and jumped the last tabletop.
It was going well and after about 45 minutes I cleanly jumped the doubles really smoothly 3 times then on the 4th attempt I slipped a pedal in the air and crashed!! I managed to not hit the ground but I have hurt my wrist a bit and I hit my nuts on the saddle and then the back wheel trying not to crash!
My wrist is still a little sore but I should be OK by tomorrow morning.
I have decided that I will bite the bullet and put the clipless pedals on the bike this afternoon and for the rest of the week I will get used to the pedals on the track.
I am going to pump and manual everything for the first couple of days and then towards the end of the week I will start trying to jump with the clipless pedals.
