Bath full laps done

Had a bit of a mixed up day today. I only got 3 hours sleep as there were problems at work last night and once I was awake I couldnt sleep again. Then I got an emergeny call from my Dad and had to pop to my parents house this morning as my Dad had downloaded a virus on his computer. This meant that I had to train in the afternoon but I had go train about 40 minutes after eating lunch which is not ideal and I was a bit monged out from lack of sleep and digesting food. Also the weather got worse as the day went on with the wind picking up and getting quite gusty.

I managed to remember my new handlebar mount to test out and it worked quite well it did spin around the bars a little bit and I have to read the instructions properly to get the most out of it but it seems the best option that I have found so far. I am going to try putting a strip of rubber on the bar before connecting the stopwatch tomorrow to see if the slippage stops. I used my race bike today as I want to

My best laps today were my second and third laps where I did 35.66 secs and 35.60 secs respectively. My best time with Strava today was 34 seconds so you can see that it is not very accurate and I feel that the stopwatch on the handlebar will be better in the long run when I get used to using it. The only issue is that it is a lap timer so doesn't stop timing which is a bit of a pain as I am taking 5 minutes rest in between laps.

I was quite pleased today as my legs were feeling good and I only got leg and shoulder burn on the last lap. All the others I was able to power through the line easily.

My full lap times were as follows:

1: 36.02
2: 35:66
3: 35.6
4: 36.05
5: 36.62
6: 36.41

I am pretty pleased as they were all pretty consistant an now I need to keep going and try and get smoother and faster to get the time down as much as possible.

This week I am going to use exclusively the Haro to get used to the new bar height.

I am not sure if I am going to go to Bath or Bristol tomorrow but I am thinking that I will stay in bath as the track is quieter but I will see how I feel tomorrow.

I have just found out that there is a race on Sunday about an hour from here which I am debating going to as it is a longer track which would be good practice and it also has a really flat start hill which would be different as well. I need to decide by thursday night but I am liking the idea at the moment. It would also be good to try against South Cruiser Riders ready for the Brits.
