And so it is, 2011 nears its end, a successful year in all but hopefully the spoils of 2012 will far exceed it. If I was to recap on my year, I would remember it as one of both hardship and success, progress was stunted by many injuries and ailments, but at the same time when i managed to gather form I acheived some nice results.
As of the last month training has been going to plan. The inflammed sciatic nerve in my right leg seems to have slowly come good, thanks to some top class therapy from Dave Corcoran of www.nsrt.ie and Simon Walsh of the Massage Clinic above molloys pharmacies in bunree. This injury had caused havoc in November and early December but with it clearing up I can happily say that progress is been made.
Like usuall when Im home for the festive season over indulgement became my enemy, the illitany of food and drink forced a few pounds onto me, but im confident that this will not hinder my progress once my training rides really strike the long mileage. As of recent I have been training with my brother Ciaran quite a lot, we have been tackling the "Eagle Loop" this comprises of crossing the windy gap, hacking out by lough easkey and smashing it back into the relentless coastal winds via easkey and enniscrone. Last week we were met but gale force winds and insane hail, It was striking us so hard that my skin was in pain as it lashed against it.
The mountain bike is also going good, even though i am still working off my keo cleats and am waiting on the arrival of my Mavic Razor MTB shoes which are expected this week. There arrival will be great as it will give me the opportunity to take to rougher trails were if forced into walking wont destroy my road shoes!!
But that is it for 2011 people it has been a good year, but even greater lay ahead
