WELSH 50M TT CHAMPS - Abergavenny - 24th Sept 2017

4th Overall & 1st on Standard (National Welsh Gold)

So, stage 2 of the weekend - the Welsh 50m TT champs at Abergavenny - just missing out on the podium with a 4th place, should be super delighted mixing it with the youngsters, but me being me....

Second half was particularly tough but actually held it fairly well....losing just 40 seconds....

Later in the day though, received a searing pain right though the heart, nothing to do with bike racing, found out the Owls result against the "not so" Blunts - devastation on an otherwise glorious weekend

[April 2020: This was my first of 3 x 4th places in the Welsh 50m Champs....but interesting that this was 2 races in 2 days, in my early days I didn't like that...nor did I like doing any sort of interval session inside 2 days of a race...this is a running legacy, where typically racing would be 2 in 3 weeks, and certainly no hard training close to the event...but I eventually trusted Richard and illustrates that cycling is easier on the body and therefore allows quicker recovery!]
