Best training ever

Had my best training session ever today even though I have a stomach bug and am feeling sick and got a headache.

Did first straights again today with sprints back up the start hill. I did probably 30 straights and cased only one or two first jumps and maybe 5 second jumps so much better than ever before.

I also did a few tap manuals on the first jump and one on the second as well.

I also got onto the balance point a few times which meant perfect manuals after the first one where I popped my pants and got on the break! Still manualled the second even doing this 😀

Typically my camera is out of action so I wasn't able to film any of the session!!!!!

I am going to take the cruiser tomorrow and see how I do with it as I am loving the 20" at the moment. I am seriously thinking about doubling up this season in 20" and Cruiser to see how it goes. I may leave the 20" until the second race to make sure I get through it as I have never raced further than the first jump at the Exeter track. It is the track where I broke my collar bone and ribs last year so I am a bit apprehensive about racing there. Especially as it is the first race of the year! I will keep thinking about it from now until then. I am definitely going to register so that I can double up if I feel like it later in the season.

I am getting annoyed with my camera as the batter just will not hold a charge which is really annoying as I need to film my training if I want to iron out the bugs in my technique. To be honest the camera was only £30 last year so I should really get a proper go pro and a few batteries to use with it.

I am going to go to Crucial in the morning to get a long seat post ready to start 400m sprints on my way to work in the morning. I have been on Google maps as I have 2 places where I can do 400m sprints with enough time in between to rest for the next one. It is not ideal but is better than nothing and means I will be doing 10 sprints a week which isn't bad. And now it is getting darker later I can get to the track at night to do an hour's first straight sprint and manual practice too.
