Nick Knack Paddy Wack!!! Racing season over done and dusted, but now it’s time to relax, put my feet up and plan for 2011. Belgium provided me with all that I need, my eyes were opened, my legs were shredded, my lungs burnt, hands blistered but most of all I now know what I must ask of myself If I am to achieve my goals.
But I’m home now; I have been out for a few light spins on my local roads, soaked up the constant rain and 13degree temps that only seem to be getting worse. I’m aiming to do only a small bit of cycling for the next week or 2 while my body recovers from the rigors that the seasons racing thrust upon it, at max 2 hrs every 2nd day. I am heading for a fitness test with my coach this weekend so I’m hoping my results will be somewhat good, it will provide a great benchmark for us to work off next year and with me finally acquiring a power meter, the manufacturing of WATTS can begin.
In the next few weeks whilst I am home I will be doing some extra work with my sponsor Molloys Lifestyle Pharmacies and I have a lot of interesting ideas in the wings that will hopefully benefit both sides.
I was out training today with my good friend Bernard Towmey AKA Richie Madano, we clocked around 80km at a steady tempo, went out to Lacken beach in Killala and back. Poor Bernard who is just on his way back from a severe collarbone injury which he sustained during a stage of the FBD Ras this year, when unfortunately was taken down and smashed into the tarmac, it was a massacre and for a man like Bernard to comeback so quickly is awe inspiring. This past weekend I completed a fitness test at my coaches training centre which is based in Dublin check out the web site: http://www.winningsolutions.ie/
Attached you will find a short video of my recent fitness test that took place at the Winning Solutions Training Company based in Dublin Check it out..
But until the next time keep it real!!
