Today, in about an hour, i'm heading off down to Hennebont for a 1/2/3 circuit race. Hopefully i'll notice and be able to take advantage of the step down in difficulty from what i've been doing recently and make the most of it but its still going to be a hard race. The local host team, Hennebont Cyclisme, has 17riders entered and will do their best to control it for one of their top riders. However with a few other big names cropping up on the start list, for example Johan le Bon, it should be an interesting day. For me, this will be a test to see how well i have recovered since Brittany finished a week ago. Training has been going well but the legs have been going from amazing one day to dead the nexThist so i'll have to see how the form goes today. I think that things will come around a bit more for sundays 1st cat race where i am gunning for a result as the course is hard and splits happen on the finish circuit with two hard hills each lap. Watch this space...
This week i had a visitor here in the form of my girlfriend from the UK over from sunday to thursday. It made a nice change to have someone else around the flat and fortunately we had nice weather so a lot of time was spent introducing her to the diffent cafés round Quimper. As you do.
I'll pop a quick post up this evening on how the race goes this afternoon. For now, i need to go give my machine a quick clean up.
A tout à l'heure,
