Wet but super fun track training session tonight.
I felt a bit crap again today so I decided to chill at home instead of going walking in the morning as I had training at the track tonight so I will be active for at least an hour and a half.
I got to the track early and when we checked the track it was REALLY wet with puddles everywhere! So we got the shovels out and dug channels to get the worst of the water off of the track on the first and second straights so that we could run the training.
All the time that we were doing this we were having torrential rain and at 6pm it suddenly stopped just in time for training 🙂
We did some warmups then some racing drills and then we spent the last 30 minutes jumping the table-top and then had a few games of foot down to finish.
Considering how wet we were it was a really fun session that everyone enjoyed.
My bike is now a mess and my kit is all ringing wet so I have had to bring it all in and turn on the heating to try and dry out my shoes, body armour and helmet and I have put all the rest of the kit in the wash so it will all be clean and dry for racing tomorrow night!
In the morning I will clean and lube the bike so that it is ready to race tomorrow night.
This was our last evening session at the track as it is now getting too dark too early so training is being moved to Saturday mornings now to allow for proper training. To be honest Saturday is a better day for me anyway so roll on next Saturday as there is racing this weekend so no training.
After getting back from the track I am on 7000 steps which is more than enough for today as I have done a lot of exercise anyway. I plan to get up early in the morning and walk and also do some shopping as I have no food in the house! I will then chill all day ready for racing in the evening. I will probably head over about 4pm so that I can hopefully miss most of the traffic and I can mess around on the track before the gates session starts about 6pm.
