I took two weeks off the bike at the end of January after the National CX champs to recover and I didn't exactly enjoy it. I couldn't eat as much as usually would, nor was I able to sleep as long as usual so I had a tonne of free time that i didn't know how to occupy. Got back into training for february and started the base miles. Unfortunately, I had a pretty nasty crash a few weeks into training, going down a local hill. I went over the bars because of a flying stick lodged into my wheelso i've got a whole new set of scars on the right side of my body now. Took a while to heal as it was in an akward spot so I've not raced this month. My first one will be on the 1st, Severn Bridge Nat B and i'll probably get quite a shock and i expect it to be cold, wet and windy.
