HIGHS and lows!

This week had a lot of highs and lows.

The high’s being i was back from Sunday Tour, a week to lay low and recover and get the legs and mind fully geared for what is going to be full steam ahead in terms of training for nationals and end of year exams. Also a weekend full of events; Tiff Cromwell’s 21st on Friday night backed up with Valedictory Dinner at college Sunday night...let’s just say both nights were a success, good and funny times!;)
The low’s were we me crashing in the B grade crit on Tuesday night at Vic Park. The legs were feeling good and the night did not have much wind, which would play in my lack of strength compared to the boys! However this would have been good if I stayed up right! Rather I experienced my first crash for 2009! The word HURT basically sums it up. My bike escaped a lot of damage, as for me i cracked a helmet and the right side of my body was/is skinned. I never knew how much a crash can take it out of you! I woke Wednesday morning having very little sleep, unable to move my neck, and walking to go to the toilet before I kitted up felt like the walk of death!...but the show must go on and this week in terms of training was meant to be “low and easy” it certainly was “low and easy” and for the first few days after my crash I could have joined in with a hybrid mountain bike bunch..yeepp I was creeping! However it’s Sunday arvo, the day is nice with a bit of sun and reflecting on the whole I had a decent week more so a decent weekend which included all my favourite things and people, so I reckon life’s not too bad!
One last note I’ve been avoiding study for two weeks now...the day is the day people! I thought if I wrote this down then I would be obligated to do it! :)

Till next time
