TLI Race

I raced in the Ray levers memorial TLI race on Sunday, 7 laps adding up to 33 miles in total. I was put in the scratch group to which my initial thoughts (as with anything) was in for a penny how hard can it be. It was only after the 7th guy laughed at me and wished me luck i seriously began to question this. "Its death on wheels" i was duly told by a guy in group 1. He was correct. The plan was a steady ride there race and a steady recovery ride home. The plan didn't come to fruition. It was all good up until the end of the steady ride there. Off we went in the scratch group straight in to a 50kph train. No easing in to it no steady progression. After 5 laps or 24 miles my legs gave up, my brain was screaming to catch the group but i just couldn't put in any more effort and bonked big time. Hey ho it was a great laugh and i got home and entered the entire series.Good times.

On a downer i had to can tonights run/swim as i did myself a mischief on my back at work. Hope its better for tomorrow.
