Rest Day

I am going to take a full rest day today as my legs are sore and I want to stay fresh for the weekend as We have gates tomorrow and I want to go to Bristol or Tiverton on Sunday for a change.

I have been looking online for a handlebar mount lap timer as I have been using Strava but it seems to be a bit hit and miss so I wanted something a little more accurate.

I want to start recording my lap times and first straight times to see how I am progressing as at the moment I am not recording anything unless I use specific shorts that my phone fits into which is a pain and the cadence meter I bought the other week was also useless and is going back on ebay soon.

I figured a stop watch would be easy and can easily be moved between bikes. I am going to investigate how I am going to record my lap times on my phone or maybe go really old school and buy a book to record them in depending on what apps I can find.

I am also working on an idea for the app if I can't find anything online as I want to learn to program so this may be a great excuse to start learning.

With the timer I am going to break the track into segments so I can record first straights to the hole shot line on the first berm, first and second straights to the middle of the second berm, first, second and third straights to the middle of the third straight and then full laps.

I can also do a mixture of these in a session to get an idea of where I need to improve to get faster.
