The Final Leg!!


Illness behind me and a clear road ahead... The thought runs through my mind 24/7. Struck by the worst stomach problems that I have had for a while I was left seriously lacking on my bike for 2 weeks, with majority of my racing being done in the direction of the loo. But thank god it is all in the past and with me completing a number of tough training sessions the past few week's whilst watching my diet like a hawk, I can honestly say I’m carrying the best form of my life!!



I have been missing on this for the past while, mostly due to the fact that I have been racing every 3rd day. With me set to fly home to Ireland in what is now 8days, I am doing my best to get as much racing in as I possibly can.


Last week I had a run at an interclub in Luxembourg, it was very hilly and a serious challenge, I took the beating of my life but enjoyed it all the same. The following day I raced in a local event called Zwevegem, an event that has been won by such famous riders as Peter Van Petegem and finally today I will be racing in De Pinta, it will be what looks like my second last race of the season so I’m hoping to give it hell and god knows maybe come away with my best result yet.



A new change that I have made in terms of my nutrition is that I have been keeping a food diary the last while, noting all the produce that I have been taking in. The aim of this is to find the areas in my diet that I can correct, it allows me to make small changes slowly and soon they will be having the desired affect that I am seeking. It is a choice that I chose to make after discussing ways to improve my diet with my Nutritional Sponsor, Molloys Lifestyle Pharmacies and Healthfood Stores In Ballina. By working with Molloys over the last few months I can honestly say the results are speaking for themselves. Diet and nutrition are the key in an athlete's progression and I honestly feel that by getting such areas on track I can make massive improvements.



The video that you will find attached to this post is an in-depth look at zym tablets and how beneficial I have found them over the past few months that I have been using them.
