Gates

Had a really good gates session yesterday morning at Bath Track. Tested out the bike and the new cleat position and both were great I was manualing much better and able to jump the tabletop much better and the bike goes around berms like it is on rails!!!! So happy with it. The lower bars seem to make jumping easier too.

I could not believe how much better the new cleat position was. My it moved the weight off of the calves so that you uses your whole leg not just the calves. It also made a huge difference with leg fatigue.

Myself and a friend decided to race 3 motos, a semi and a final as I was saying that I needed to practice full laps. This was really good as we were dead after the second Moto and had to dig deep to get through all the races. I definitely felt the difference in the foot position and I didn't get as tired as normal. Also being able to jump the tabletop makes the second straight much faster than even peddle manualing as I did both and my friend told me that there was no way he could catch me when I jumped the tabletop so I am trying to jump it every time now.

In the afternoon I went to visit my parents and I went for a walk with my brother and nieces and their friends dog for about 5 miles which made a really good warm down.
