A week in the life...

This past week has had so much to write about it's hard to decide where to start. I feel like a kid in a lollie shop with a couple of hundred dollars.

Saturday saw me at track training with coach DJ and special guest (SG) coach. First up SG coach decided my saddle was too low. So up it went - 5mm - 10mm - 14mm!!!!! I've never moved my saddle more than 2mm at a time and then with fear and trepidation. The new position feels a bit strange but definitely flatter, more balanced and in good control of the bike. I may wait a while before trying to duplicate it on my road bike. Wearing my new "NancyBoy" black and pink skin-suit I felt like a million bucks. We were thrashed mercilessly for three hours with kilo effort repeats and two sets of 10 sprint efforts. My hammies definitely felt the change of saddle position.

Sunday I took on the Audax Higher and Higher ride with perfect weather served up for a hilly but scrumptious 100km. I got to spend some time riding and chatting with Tony B for the first time in a lot of years as well as hammering out a few nice hills. My legs are feeling good for the ACE it's just a matter of how they stand up the the "Raspberry" after 160km.

Tuesday and Thursday has seen yet more track training with my legs smashed to bits. This weekend is shaping up to be another tasty treat.

Endurogirl and I have been slowly constructing an amazing year of cycling featuring everything from 1200kms in Perth to a flying 200m in Portugal. We have currently filled 83 weekends for the year so there aren't a lot left to spare.
