I decided to do full laps this morning to make the most of the sunny dry conditions so I did a warm-up of one pump lap followed straight after with a lap peddling everything. I then did 6 x full speed full laps with 4 minutes rest in between. After this I decided to practice manual-ing the first jump. I did a set of 10 then rested for 5 minutes and then did 10 more. By the end of the last 20 my legs were gone so I stopped.
I was really happy with my progress out of the 20 runs 10 of the manuals I got the front wheel over the face of the jump an 10 I cased on top. Out of the 10 where the front wheel made it over 5 of those were perfect smooth manuals where I gained speed. It is the first time since I built up the S&M that I have been able to cleanly manual the first jump so I am stoked and have everything crossed that the next session I do not regress again.
Tomorrow is a rest day so I cleaned the bike and stored it ready for Friday.
Unfortunately I found out when I got to the track that the pockets on my race pants are smaller than the pockets on my shorts so my phone didn't fit! This meant that I couldn't measure my times or speed with Strava. Also I can't find my camera so I couldn't film the manuals either which is annoying.
I keep forgetting to mention that I am still keeping up with drinking Lime Juice in the morning and drinking at least 3 litres of water a day. I also haven't had any fizzy drinks this year so going well.
