I check it out most days and its always nice to know there others out there doing just the same mad stuff!<br />I wouldnt worry about the wind etc as its a nice ride. One thing I would do though is put some very hard wearing tyres on. If there is any water on the road there will be lots of punctures. I have just put gator skins on and they seem strong enough. I had been using TUFO tubulars but they shredded with all the little tiny raxor sharp flint stones on the road. Puncturing is what I am most worried about as I have had soooo many here now. When its dry and warm it doesnt seem to be such an issue. <br />Stay injury free and keep up the training. See you in August!Johanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239258931365017200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8889339849654205640.post-42522143808712465172010-04-08T15:10:59.361+02:002010-04-08T15:10:59.361+02:00Hey Johan!

If you had asked me a few weeks ago I would...Hi B,<br /><br />If you had asked me a few weeks ago I would have said that its really isnt that windy here, but now I would have to say that its been a little windy for weeks! Went for a blast last night of 60k and again it got quite blustery. The good news though is that I cycled half the bike course (1 loop) and there is plenty of cover from the wind in a few places and also as its 2 loops you do get a tail wind too! I will be working on my profile position though as it makes such a big difference. I think it gives me an extra 5kph into the wind.<br />The swim usually takes the form of a 1k warm up at easy pace then a few 200 meter slightly faster pace then 100m faster etc etc until I am doing 25m flat out. Then Ill try to cool off with maybe 500m at the end...all that said, last time was just 500m warm up, 5 * 200m then 5 * 100m. Then I was spent!<br />Have you got a blog? if so let me know what it is.Johanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239258931365017200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8889339849654205640.post-30928819846404312592010-04-07T17:47:11.859+02:002010-04-07T17:47:11.859+02:00Good work on the weekend cycle Johan - headwinds c...Good work on the weekend cycle Johan - headwinds can be a real killer!
