Tuesday torture

The competition is above.....................The fuel is below

The morning started with a 615am spin.. then home to 5weet-bix 2eggs on an english muffin.

AT midday the challenge was on.. i meet crawford (8hrs 2min in 100mile) and jak whos been on a rough trot in endurance events.. but he is the guy that also wears pink and will overtake you on every descent..

AT THE bottom of kariong hill. (3km long) crawford on his malvin star jak on his lovely red advanti and me on my single speed..

Well up we go.. my legs felt like race day.. off the front i burst setting the pace with crawford riding past me at the look out.. the look out is were th road kinks ever so slightly and nearly take 10k of your speed which hurts wen u only have one gear.. we arrive to the top never truly racing but never giving an edge, were to busy smiling while we try to hurt each other... between gulps of air jak admits to that being the quickest he has ridden to the top..(btw we didnt let him change gears)

lap 2 the same thing happens im over taken at the lookout and jak does another pb.

lap3 we let jak make a gap we reel him and i attack before the lookout for crawford to cross the top by my side...

lap4 up we go smashing pedals and making our old single speeds sing(squeak n creak) me and crawford play cat and mouse to the top with me getting the win..

lap5 im truly enjoying the burn in my legs by this stage so i drilled it hard i attack at the halfway mark never looking back.. only to realise ive left the boys way behined i sit up the top with a huge smile and wait for them to arrive... crawford is devastated ive never been able to beat him..it must be the heavy malvin star over my sleek dodsun... we try each others bike out at the top while we wait for poor jak who is truly hating us...and our mad ideas...he calls it quits but we roll back down the hill following jak who gains more speed out of corners then the car drivers do and we talk him into doing one more.

lap6... me and crawford change bikes.. hmmm a lil strange but today is not the day to try and beat chops..(was in pink to) i make it to the top as the VICTOR.. crawford gulps for air and pushes out your bike is lighter huffpuff its quicker huff it feels faster puff.. my legs just arnt..we shake hands and call it a day.. and roll home..

back to the gym at 630pm for another spin class it burnt the whole 45mins and the stretches were agony... my legs were so empty all day on wednesday..

the goal is to do this once a week... well just have to see if that becomes possible..

sunday is club race check back for race results..

CHOPS:)
