So things are looking good, and training isn't going too badly either - I'm back at uni now and not getting quite as many miles in as when I'm at home, but that was to be expected. I'm on the bike 5-6 days a week for at least 90mins each time.
On Tuesday and Thursdays I'm attending the evening "bash" which is a conglomeration of the fastest riders from the clubs around Warwickshire, taking part in effectively a 30mile road race twice a week. You do your stint at the front, at a pace normally close to 25mph and then there is a sprint finish at the end. It's great fun and fantastic fast pace training - not often you can put in a 46mile ride in the evening! (the start is 8miles off campus). It certainly makes me want to do some road racing this summer - so I've been looking in the calendar for a few events that I can enter.
My other training composes of one gym session a week, one rest day spin, one high powered spin and core training class and then intervals and long rides on the bike. Luckily there is a guy in the Uni Tri club who can set me a pretty challenging pace for me (he is aiming for a sub 20min 10mile TT this year), so I am hoping to train with him a few times a week as the pace of the Uni group rides are a little slow for me now.
In a month I will have finished exams and be free to ride every day, without the constant feeling that I should be working or revising. Really looking forward to that and it is all that is keeping me sane at the moment.
Just a quick update on the situation really -things seem to be progressing well and I'm looking forward to a June/July and August full of races!
