Just finished at 10 race series - think the 4 Tinies, but 10 instead of 4!! The last one finished at the top of Fox Hill.
I didn't set any records, but that was a blinkin good workout
I may sleep well tonight
~2 hours of super sprint racing sounds fun, hope that series is still going around October, when my outdoor season will probably be coming to an end.
It was pretty brutal. All cats race together too so lots of wheels to follow and chase. My legs hurt now haha

One final post regarding LEJOG from me. If you want to see what a single day on tour looks like but faster, here's a video of my Day 1 from Land's End to St. Austell, but sped-up so the it takes only 30 minutes instead of 5 hours.

All stops over a certain length have been edited out and while I've tried to eliminate camera wobble as much as possible, it gets worse on the steeper climbs as I'm weaving the bike from side to side. Speeding up the footage also makes me sound like a panting dog at times!
Probably won't do the remaining days as it took an age just to get this one edited, plus I'll admit that I don't have complete footage of all the days either - sometimes forgetting to start the camera (or re-start it after lunch) or the battery running out before the end of the ride.

I'm not doing any events this year apart from Condordax on 15th August. It's a 200km Audax which several of my club BMCC are doing.
It's also good timing for me as I will be taking a medical break in September for a few weeks. So hopefully going into that I will be super-fit, having had something to aim for.
(I'm currently carrying a CTL of 74, which is the highest it's been for at least 3 years 🙌 )
