Sprints done

Did a few sprints this morning on the way to work. I did one downhill of around 50m and 2 flat sprints of about the same distance I would have done another downhill sprint but I got a facefull of midges at the end of the 3rd sprint as it was too dark to see them still so I was throwing up and picking them out of my eyes all the way to work!

I am still feeling a bit sick even an hour after swallowing all the midges!!

I must say that I love the S&M for sprinting and also love the 38x16 gearing as well. I may well swap the 38 tooth onto my race bike and get a 39 tooth chain ring for the S&M. I will try the S&M out at the weekend at gates and see how it feels out of the gate to see if I will swap. I am not going to change the race bike until after the race on Sunday though.

I switched my mouse over to my left hand yesterday at work and my right wrist is much less painful today than it was yesterday so hopefully this will resolve the wrist issues that I have been having. I am going to wear a wrist guard when riding for the next few weeks until the pain goes totally but hopefully this will resolve the problem. I will find out tonight when I go to the track to do full laps.

After school we made it to the track and I am finally getting the first straight dialled. I manualed both jumps on all of my runs today at top speed and even got a couple of tap manuals as well. I managed to get my son to video a couple of runs on my phone as I forgot my camera for a change. The quality is really bad but you can see that I am improving a lot from the start of the year.
