Over the weekend we got up early and went to Exeter Eagles for their Saturday gates session which was really good apart from my Son getting his thumb caught between a railing and his handlebar and getting a severely bruised thumb and having to stop riding! And on Sunday I went up to Bath BMX and opened up for gates but didn’t have to set up the gate as only a few people showed up as there was a regional at Tiverton.
We have decided that we are going to swap gates back to Saturdays as we have training sessions running from 9-12:30 so it makes sense to run gates after the training as the gate will already be set up and also people will already be there from the training.
This morning I woke up and did my weigh in and was annoyed to find that my weight has crept back up to 104.4kgs! To be honest that is not entirely unexpected as I have been really inactive over the past week or so and have not been walking or riding the bike at all!
I woke up feeling rough again this morning so I went back to sleep after my weigh-in instead of going out and doing sprints as planned! I will do skipping, manuals and sprints tomorrow morning to make up for it.
I am thinking that it would be more beneficial to replace my manual training in the mornings with hill training to build leg endurance which I am severely lacking!
