My last race of the cyclo-cross season was the last National series round at Shrewsbury. It was probably my best result of the season, 17th, although I felt I could have and should have done better if I wasn't caught behind crashes, but thats racing. I really enjoyed the race though, I felt more involved, which is a nice feeling considering the lack of cross specific training I did during the Season. The course was really good fun too, mainly based weaving in and out of trees and on off camber banks, making it quite technical. Good news for the road season ahead though, is that on the long road section each lap I managed to gain time on the riders in front, proving all the power and strength work I've done this Winter has paid off.
Cross bikes are now hung up for another year, I am now comitted to the upcoming road season, looking forward to testing myself and improving on last years results, to prepare myself for my second year as a Senior and Under 23 rider.
Its looking like I am heading off to Lanzarote for a couple of solid weeks pre-season training with the Burtons, in the second week of February. I can't wait to get back into the swing of training, and starting off in Lanzarote is perfect to get it all underway. I am planning to start my racing season almost as soon as I get back, on the last weekend of February, to say i'm excited is an understatement.
I hope to be picking up my new Colnago team bike in the near future, that is making the upcoming season even more exciting, cannot wait to get my hands on it!
