Hi,
Yesterday was another decent hit out, 110kms in cold and windy conditions. It seemed that the day was getting colder as it went on.
We were 25kms into the ride when Paul had a crash, just a small lapse in concentration and he was on the floor. Luckily he got up and was pretty much unscathed apart from a couple of scratches but it showed how quickly the ride for him could have been over. After 7 months of training we have to make sure that we are safe on the roads as it would be a disaster if something was to happen and put an end to someones trip.
After that Paul and Aaron were riding well and seemed quite strong, I was really struggling on the flat sections, the hills were fine though.
I woke up this morning feeling unwell, cold, cough and aches which might explain the performance yesterday.
We were hoping to get out this morning but terrible weather put a stop to that, with driving wind and rain it is just too dangerous.
Looks like I will just have to stay inside with the heater on, cook a bbq and watch the grand final later today (oh yeah, probably have a couple of beers in there too).
Only two weeks to go now, not long now.....
Cheers
Carl
