Well that's it. My first season done. Six months of intense learning. This year alone I've done somewhere around 400 hours of training, circa 10,000kms of road covered, just over 50kms of vertical climbing, 15 races, 5 time trials and a 500km ride to Paris later. It's no lie... I. Am. Knackered. I've been told by Jamie, my coach, to take a week off the bike. Incidentally a week is the longest amount of time I've spent out of the saddle since I first started cycling last March. Jamie originally advised me to take two weeks, because he's sensible and knows what he's doing. Unlike me, the ever zealous newbie, who demanded I attempt to squeeze in one last race after the National Championships. Oh yeah, you're probably wondering how that went aren't you... Well, it was good fun. The trip was a nice relaxing bit of time out for my partner and I (who also raced alongside a scutch of other lads from the Isle of Man). It was great to get away with other ...

Here it is! As if by magic the season is drawing to a close, and what a close it is with my second to last race being nothing less than the TLI National Road Champs. Last few races have been a bit of a nightmare, I've been tired and the season has started to take its toll. However, there is one last fight to put up and this happens in England on Sunday. There's only four women competing, that's only three people I need to get past at the end to finish my season with a good result. So, short blog post because I think I'll have plenty more to talk about after the weekend! Fingers crossed!
