Wednesday 23rd April 2025
This evening I went to Andover and did gates again. I took the Curtis and was pretty consistent with my gates and got a bunch of 2.5xx times and I was 0.002 off of a pb again which is not bad.
Although I didn’t have my best time today I got 15 sprints in during the session and felt good on all of them and also got my best 3 times split time of 2.549 so I was average at best but I was consistently average 🙂 I felt like I could do with a little bit harder gearing so I will try swapping my gearing to 37 x 16 and see if that helps at all as I was with the fast guys until about my 4th pedal and they found another gear and I didn’t which also shows that I need to start doing sprints too! I really like the Curtis way more than all my other bikes so I am going to sell everything else and just keep the Curtis.
Before I change the gearing I am going to see what difference the Onyx hub makes so I have bought a new Onyx rear cog so that I can use my Onyx rear wheel next week and see if that improves anything.
I am really feeling the benefits of being consistent with going to Andover this month so I am going to make it a focus to go every Wednesday from now on. I can also feel the benefits of the creatine and also changing my diet too as I am getting way less tired now and the lack of Asthma is a real game changer! I just need to start back in the gym and doing sprints consistently and I should be good to get into the 2.4xx pretty soon.
