State of play

So just a quick look at where I am at the moment. I'm about to head off to my secret overseas training camp (otherwise known as a holiday) weighing in at a whopping 125kg, deadlifting 220kg and hitting 1600+W on the trainer (though that was actually a month ago... haven't done an aboc spin since then! Whoops.) I think it's clear which of those numbers most needs to change, and in what direction!

I'm not sure if I'll post while I'm away or not - I'll probably mostly do general base work in the gym and on the road. See what the numbers are like in 6 weeks!

Pre-season

So the training has begun... kinda. I've done a few aboc spin sessions in my loungeroom, and even almost finished one! Otherwise I'm just trying to work more riding in amongst gym sessions, doing shorter recovery rides on days I don't lift, and gradually longer rides on other free days. It's still mostly gym work at the moment; otherwise, it's mostly a matter of building capacity slowly. I've no illusions about what my performance will be like come October - a quick look at the last couple of seasons of SSS suggests that I ought to be working towards doing well in C-Grade! And mostly, having fun.

Also, I've started shaving my legs again. Because I can.
