Not that I'm "sick" sick now..just suffering the after effects...with my sinuses working overtime..probably on penalty rates for the public holidays with a bonus for over production. And all this coughing must be working my abs incredibly!!! I've also lost my sense of taste..either that or the expensive fillet steak I ate yesterday while celebrating Alex's birthday was very bland, a bit like the supermarket carrot I ate the other day..right colour, right shape..no taste.
So my training has been of the mild variety...a bit of endurance at a mild/moderate pace and not too much stressing the system, but today I'm breaking out and am going to re-do Inverness Road to see if I can decrease the stoppage number from what I hope is an all time high of 7. Alex suggested I use his 12/26 instead of my 12/25 cassette..but I'm not wanting to give up that easily...only if my failure rate stays high. Yesterday's ride involved hooning down it, which was a blast until I punctured the rear tyre, which was not much fun although I got to prove my superior bike handling skills yet again and at least it was the rear and not the front.
This weekend I was supposed to be racing and I was also supposed to be trying out my beautiful new Blue TT bike

I'm also joining the throng and going the ceramic bearing route as a way of upgrading my road bike...if I can squeeze another season or two out of it, I'll buy a new bike just before I retire from paid employment..a steel one to last me the rest of my racing days!
