The official training sessions start today. Which means a VERY busy track. We've been lucky over the last few days and had the track to ourselves.
In store today is a 90 minute track session, with a standing pursuit effort. Looking forward to getting aero'd up and trying to go quick!
The pursuits in training were always the thing I was worst at. Struggled to push the bigger gears and didn't have the strength to finish with good splits. But really starting to enjoy them now! Feeling a lot more comfortable with pacing and my adjusted position feels perfect. Can't wait to try pursuiting in a proper competition. May get the oppurtunity in Beijing if I ride the omnium, or if I'm going well hopefully the pursuit at the Manchester World Cup. Would be good to get a 4km official ip done this season, to see where I'm at for next year and just get a feel for what I need to be doing in training.
I have a new aero helmet with a mirrored visor and a set of USE Tula bars (thanks Mark!) waiting for me at home. I know it's not about the bike but it won't do any harm!
Time to go and de-hair my legs.
Adios
