Races #28 and #29

I forgot to write up about the Cleves time trial on Tuesday so this post is a 2-for-1!

I've been sick all week but that didn't stop me from racing two out of the last three days. Yes it was quite stupid and now I'm probably not going to ride until 'whenever'. Maybe next Tuesday.

Cleves was bad and I couldn't generate any power whatsoever. Worst time of the year and naturally the worst wattage.

Week 15 24.0 average @ 239 watts = 26:01 (official)
Week 14 24.4 average @ 262 watts = 25:13 (official)
Weak 13 24.2 average @ 249 watts = 25:53 (official)
Week 12 24.7 average @ 265 watts=24:58 (25:00 official)
Week 11 24.4 average @ 270 watts = 25:13
Week 10 25.0 average @ 259 watts = 24:52
Week 9: 25.0 average @ 259 watts = 24:42 (official)
Week 8: 24.5 average @ 255 watts = 25:10 (powertap) 25:18 (official)
Week 5: 24.7 average @ 257 watts = 25:00 (my time), 25:07 (official)
Week 4: 24.7 average @ 257 watts = 25:13 (official time)
Week 3: 24.4 average @ 271 watts (wrong) = 25:17
Week 2: 24.3 average @ 250 watts = 25:33
Week 1: 24.2 average @ 242 watts = 25:47

Thursday I did the Kings Cross time trial. As said earlier, I upgraded to the two lap intermediate division. Still feeling sick I gave it a go anyway. Lap one went fine but halfway through lap two my back locked up. I've been having back issues for a long while now and it really affected me. Due to the layout of the course, I could have easily quit twice on the last lap, but gutted it out and finished 13th out of 16 riders. Out of 42 total riders, I was the only person with a single speed. It was still fun, but my back was killing me when it all was said and done.

Now it's time to get back to health and get over this cold or whatever it is. Yuck!
