This week has been a fairly quiet week training-wise. I got back from Italy on Sunday where I’d been competing in a stage race. It was pretty hilly with lots of steep twisting descents but it was a good learning experience and GB’s climber, Katie Colclough finished 3rd overall so it was a good result for the team! This week I’ve been mad revising for exams, so have been doing quality work, but not quantity. Its been mostly sessions on the turbo or rollers and gym sessions at Leeds Met. (I got new PB’s in the snatch and dumbell press!) The turbo and rollers are quite hard mentally as there isn’t the enjoyment of going out on a ride but its a good way to sharpen up for competition, especially time trialling. I also did a 10 mile time trial on Wednesday night down at Kildwick nr Skipton which went well…good preparation for the National 10 mile tt Champs down in Portsmouth next weekend …will let you know how that goes!
