Ely Hardriders 25 2016

This is the third installment of this race for me, last two were a mixed bag. 2013 I had a decent ride before going the wrong bloody way at the Pymore turn. First ever TT I rode in and was a baptism of fire. 2015 was a horror story on the re-arranged course, less said the better about that day #toosoon !! The best part of this race is there is nowhere to hide. It's a sporting course and it exposes your weaknesses. Last year was a shocker but it set me up for an honest appraisal and change of training to focus on what I needed to work on. So today, eased up for the race from Wednesday and went in feeling pretty decent. Decided against turbo warm up as it was far too cold, 3/4 miles on the road was plenty and I aimed to roll up to the start just before kick off.

OK OK so it drives me mad when people post all sorts of data and numbers about how great their training is going #choppers but I am going to post my stats here. In all honesty I don't believe anyone is actually reading this drivel apart from me so I'm pretty safe from getting busted! January scores on the doors are as follows - Swim 13.5 hours Bike 28 hours Run 12 hours
