. . . of probably not much interest. Since the last post, I've succeeded in backing the pace off, a bit. There have been a few occasions when I have got carried away with the moment, but generally speaking, base miles have been enjoyed with relative success.
However, whilst I have decreased the intensity, and enjoyed the lack of pressure to train, the frequency of my rides has also dropped, significantly. Uni is a bitch, and provides far less free time than promised! When given some exams to revise for, training hours whittles down to a somewhat insignificant amount. Throw in the return of the dreaded sore achilles which has plagued me all season, and the resulting weeks with very little pedal pushing leave me as a jittery-legged, sad cyclist.
But, this is the path which I decided to take, trying to exploit my brain rather than my clearly inefficient biomechanical failures which I call my legs. So, cue some more revision, resting, stretching, and enjoying the Christmas holidays for what they are, with the hopeful intention of going freshly into an injury free 2012, which will most probably consist of even more revision and less training. But I finish in June, leaving enough time to smash up a pair of fresh legs in preparation for hillclimb season.
2012 BUCS Hillclimb? You're mine.
