Dawn Session at Bristol
Woke up early (5:30 am) and drove to Bristol patchway to get some practice in for round 3 of the Bristol BMX Summer Series on Wednesday.
When I started to ride Immediately regretted my decision, my legs felt super heavy and all of my body hurt from the excursion of the weekend and also the crash in my last moto!! Once I got going I made the most of the session working mainly on trying to get the first and second straights smoot so I was a bit more relaxed about racing on Wednesday but not expecting much as the fitness is still a bit lacking.
I also noticed that it is pedalling hard that sets off my left knee as part way into the session it started hurting when it had been pain free all weekend even though I was racing at a much more intense level all weekend! The only difference is that there us no room to pedal at Cyclopark and Pathway is so much pedalling! Also the knee went pedalling at a jump so there is that! Also the Patchway track is really heavy going at the moment as they resurfaced it but were not able to roll and whacker it as it was too wet! This is getting fixed before the Regional so hopefully I will be able to make it through 5 full speed laps without getting injured again!
After the session my legs felt slightly better but still really sore so I am taking tomorrow off as rest!
