Tuesday Training Done

Got woken up at 5:30 by a lorry reversing behind my house so decided to get up earlier and hit the track earlier. This was a good move as it started raining as I got back to the car after finishing up my training.

I had a pretty good training session today although I was coughing up loads of muck off my chest still and it was hard to breath at times.

I concentrated on the 3rd straight first today and concentrated on manual-ling the second double and doing the rest of the straight quickly. I didn't try jumping into the berm as I think that it is fast enough manual ling.

I started to mess up the manual on the second after about 10 tries so I decided to move on and practice the 4th and last straights instead. I feel that I have these pretty much dialled although I wasn't jumping into the last corner too cleanly so there is room for improvement. I also I need to focus on the second step up as I was manual ling it instead of jumping it but that is a little detail which will not make too much difference. I also need to clean up jumping the last double and onto the small table top as I was casing this every time.

I remembered my camera today so I will add some footage once I have edited it.

I am still a little worried about the fact that I can't breath properly and that I can't really do a full lap due to my chest but I will find out tomorrow how I go when I race. I plan to push it as hard as I can in all 3 motos and the final to get some endurance training even if it means that I am dead for the final as it is more important to push myself than to do well in the final.

Normally I go flat out for the first 3 straights and then take it easy on the last 2 straights but at the weekend I will need to go flat out for the whole track so I want to do this every moto to get used to it so it is not so hard at the weekend.

I should be getting my Onyx wheels back tomorrow which will be nice as they are a little easier to ride as they freewheel better than the StayStrong wheels which have a bit of drag on them where as the onyx wheels speed up when you stop peddling.

To be honest I have been really impressed with the StayStrong Wheels and for the price they are amazing.

I am going to have a morning off tomorrow as I will be racing in the evening so that will count as training and I don't want to overdo it too much before the weekend.

I am still deciding if I will rest on Friday or not and if I will be going to gates at Bristol or Bath on Saturday but as it stands at the moment I want to do gates at Bristol and will be taking Friday off as my left knee is a bit sore but that is probably due to the wet weather rather than over training.
