So, blogging.... Not something I have really done before so those that read this will have to bare with me!
So firstly why have I started to do this, well after a reasonable road racing and TT season (for an amateur) and the recent addition to my household of a lovely little daughter I wanted to keep a kind of record that I can look back on, this will no doubt end up being about the trials and tribulations of being a new father and racing as well as trying to combine the two while also supporting my wife Fiona, who also races.
So where am I right now, I am in a relatively calm period in terms of racing, the cross season starts on Sunday 6th September and I have been getting some training in ahead of it so that I can hopefully go into it fresh, in terms of being a dad, I am loving it, its tiring and hard work at times, but even just 4 weeks in, its massively rewarding. In some ways it reflects training, you have to work hard at it but if you do the results should speak for themselves.
I am about to change coaches and I while I am sad to leave my current coach who has helped to shape a good season I am excited to see what the new coach can do, I start next week with power and fitness testing as well as the dreaded "skin fold" test!
So as an intro that's about it, the next update is likely to be after the first cross race of the season!
Cheers
Richard
