Monday morning laps

Got up at 5:30 this morning again and went to Bristol to get some laps in. I forgot to weigh in this morning again before I ate breakfast so I weighed myself after breakfast and was surprised to have dropped below 99kgs for the first time in about 2 years. I only lost 0.1 kgs this week but I think I lost more as I had eaten and not pooped before the weigh in 😀 so I am hoping to drop a lot of weight next week.

I was feeling a bit groggy this morning after the crash yesterday and my vision is a bit blurry so I decided to take the longest route possible and peddle as much as possible all the way around the outside of the track to get some endurance training in for Sunday as the track is long!

Also the track is really wet as you can see from the photo so I didn't want to cut up the racing line too much.

I did 3 pump laps to warm up then 6 laps peddling around the outside at about 70-80% of full speed with 5 minutes rest in between laps.

After 3 laps my legs had gone to Jelly so I knew it was working. I finished up the 6 laps and had to take 5 minutes rest before I started trying to jump the first double on the 3rd straight (second to last straight). I tried to jump it for about 30 minutes and then did the same on the first jump on the the first straight for about another 20 minutes.

I then called it a day as my neck was a bit sore from the crash yesterday.

After training I went to Crucial and picked up the Thrill from having its gearing changed.

I then took the Dialled frame to be stripped and powder coated in Radstock. I chose 5% matte black as the colour as it looked a bit greyer which I liked. It will take aboit a week to do and will cost £50 + vat so a pretty good price.

I am now at home resting as I have to work tonight.
