It's been a while once again. Since the
last update there has been events more or less worth mentioning. Say
ain't so. Some time trialling, some road racing, good quality
training and even some golf. And oh, I moved back to Finland!
Here I've started now four times since
my move. I've been racing solidly (quite like), but nothing
spectacular hasn't happened, unless one counts my appearance in the
NC road race as spectacular... Anyway, one weekend consisted of
Lousku TT and Porvoon ajot – it was good one trainingwise as I
achieved exactly the outcome I was hoping for. Last weekend was the
nationals. In time trial I had bit of problems with the tyres and
even more so with my body. It was one of those days that nothing
seems to work and yet you keep pushing. However, I've learnt from it
and it is all good. On sunday morning I started in the NC road race,
had problems with my saddle, crashed, survived, got back on my bike, chased the
bunch, never got back to the bunch and then decided to come out of
the race. Albeit, my form was okay, different problems hindered my
performances. Life is... (add the first word that comes to your
mind). Anyway, sincere congratulations to the winners and medalists!
The reason behind the mediocre
performances is in the training phase. We just started to lift up the
intensity as planned. Now after some days of good quality intense
training I feel that it starts to come together well. The program has
been set and it looks pretty, yet tough. Once I get through this
cycle of training and recover from it – the form should be alright if not good.
