Well it has been a couple of weeks since my last update and I have completed the Castle 100 which was a very tough day in the saddle, to be honest I did not ride to my best that day, I did not feel great on the day and let myself consider external influences too much instead of focusing on the job in hand.
However with my “Super Domestique” Helen I was pulled round the course, what I did notice was an improvement in my climbing ability, I was even passing people on the infamous “Hollingbourne Hill” which is a long hard climb which I was very intimidated by pre-ride, and guess what? It was not a problem getting over it!!!!!
Since the Castle 100 I have been training and doing some more lab testing with Elliot & Kerrie who are two amazing students at Brighton University, they are using my training at Altitude and the outcome as part of their dissertation this summer, I am really privileged to have access to this level of equipment and expertise.
I am now continuing my “Road to Leadville” and with each week I am becoming more and more hopeful of realising this dream of completing this challenge and bringing home “the belt buckle” to Finlay!
On a final note, we now have another medal winner at home, Eva completed the Bupa 10k in London yesterday in a time of 58mins, I am very proud of her achievement and Finlay was delighted with the medal his Mummy won for him!!! Will there be a half marathon in the future? watch this space!!!!
More soon, I promise to update more often!!!!
