Not much going on

What's been happening? Not much is the answer. Raced at Wittering for the lincs league cross country race 10 days ago, first time i've done any sort of speed work since November. It was hard work but managed to finish 6th so quite happy with that. Had a good battle with Pete Norris all the way through the race with a constant gap of just 10 seconds (to my advantage) and finished 10 seconds ahead of him. Wednesday just gone I got asked short notice to go down to Halton for the RAF cross country champs to help secure a team win for Waddington, we won! I finished 15th overall which i'm happy with due to the lack of speed/effort sessions this year and put a healthy 30 seconds into Pete this time. Thursday I was on a course so no training and Friday I just did a 20 mile ride on the mountain bike, it was a tad on the windy side. Today (Saturday) I did a 32 mile ride in the wind and rain this morning and this evening did an 11 mile run taking in Lincolns "Steep Hill" a cobbled street of approx 20% gradient. Feel quite good now too. Not sure what tomorrow will bring yet, probably a turbo session and Monday will be packing the bike down as Tuesday at 0730hrs I fly off to Lanza for a week. Beth is at school so its just me and Anthea going and she's cool with me training out there so should be a good week. Hopefully get some sun on my skin and more importantly I don't want a repeat of last year when on the second day out there I tore my patella tendon :-( so fingers crossed for a good weeks training. Really looking forward to some good weather, biking in shorts, running in the sun and sea swimming. Will do updates and pics as the week progresses.
