30/5 Just time for 30min of intervals on the trainer to turn the legs on for tomorrows Chase the Sun endro.

31/5 This always seems to happen at Chase the Sun, they just can’t get the race started on time. So waiting around doing nothing for 25min on the start line let the body cool right down so when the gun when I really eased into it. With all the congestion of 400 riders it ended up letting me warm-up into the race. So for the first 2 laps it was just settling into position, until I ended up with 2 other solo riders & we crusied around for the next 3 laps together until the Rooty section finialy got to them & they dropped off the pace. The joy of riding a Giant Anthem X0 really paid off towards the end of the race as went I got away from the other 2 riders I started lapping faster. I ended up riding 7 Laps in 5:02:44 96km 1650m climbing. This gave me 1st 40+ & 10th solo overall.

26/5 Commute on the new single speed. getting rid of that Nexus hub makes a huge difference, average speed on the single speed is 3kph faster. 62min
45min KTB class. Did some combo sets. OA swing, OALCCJ, Snatch, Clean & then lunge 3 x 10es & some other stuff

27/5 Did a little extra on the commute 1:17hr & 45min KTB class. The big difference on the bike is climbing, as that is where the resistance in the Nexus Hub really showed it's self & the bike being 2kg lighter doesn't hurt.

23/5 Spin session on the trainer 35min

3/5 After checking the weather last night & seeing it was going to be a good day I decided to head down to the You Yang's for GMBC's winter series round 1, a 33km loop.
Felt good so went out hard only to have my front wheel taken on in the second corner in the single track. Bad place for this to happen as I ended up off the track with riders riding wheel to wheel with no gaps to re-enter the race, after 40 odd riders there was a gap of 1 bike length & I took it & was off. For the next 30min it was try to find a spot to pass the next rider & bridge to the next small group. That became my day & in the end I just ran out of km's to catch the winning rider of B grade. The course was great, but not quite enough climbing for me & 3km off road coragation hurt. Great day out.
