So I got a little question on Strava today which I really hadn't actually talked about at all, which was when is my racism going to start. So obviously had a bit of a crash this summer, wasn't ideal and obviously in my back I had a lot of male plates in there, not really ideal if I crash at the moment. So I basically decided, well me and my parents and you know thinking about it with the doctor as well, but probably it's an ideal to race straight away. So I got a appointment in June with doctors to see my back and I might get a metal taken out and just see how it is. So I'm not basically not going to race till June, which you know I do like racing quite a lot more fun than like just time trials and stuff, but at the same time do want to be up to walk and not really have lifelong injuries. Because luckily I did better about crash and actually all calm now and I'm walking everything so it's all good. So anyway, I'm not going to be racing like bunch races until at least June and then maybe when I'm all decide. So instead of doing a bit of alternative race calendar, which is what everyone seems to think is very popular these days like Ed Lava is doing a bit of alternative race calendar. He's like the B-Tech Phil Guam on I tell him the NVQ version of Phil Guam on him. And if you know what I'm saying, you're a legend, if not it's like a terrible qualification below B-Tech. But anyway, so it's what I'm going to do, what am I going to do? So I've decided basically like I just want to get big and so did FTP test like, what was it? It would have been on variety because I don't know last, which is lovely. So anyway, did FTP test, wrote out to my favorite place. It's not exactly a 20 minute climb, but you know it's like it's more or less it's good enough. But anyway, so I did 297 watts for 20 minutes, which is not bad, it's not unreal. So obviously if I weighed 50, 60 kilos, it'll be 4.9 watts per kilo. Unfortunately, I'm not 60 kilos. No, I've just like to develop my injuries, I saw just a web because basically want to have loads of energy to heal your bones. So it wasn't really an issue, but so I'm like 63 so it's more like 4.7 watts per kilo, which isn't terrible considering I was quite ill and like didn't really train too much before hand. But anyway, it's a good start place. As you can see here, it's a hard climb-ish to do a good FTP test because obviously like down here you're going like 10 K an hour of a steep wall and we get up to 53 K an hour. So it's not ideal, but I'm not very good at keeping a really smooth power. Like I'm not terrible, but I can't keep it within plus or minus like 5 watts. 85 Kans. Recently I've been getting a lot of stitches. So obviously I've brought my ribs quite high up and I think that's had an issue. So I've got stitches but luck on this one, dinged out stitch, which is really, really good. It means I can do some efforts without getting stitches because I imagine doing like 30, 15, something really grim and then you get stitches as well, your motivations and all the time. So anyway, yeah, so we'll go, we'll get to the training weeks and you'll see I put some things in these all just around and hill climbs. I just decided a lot of my balls the other day. But my big goal is going to be else. So last year might have seen I went to the house with my uni which is going to be fun as a week in the house. And like to be fair, I thought I was going to fly, but I just was feeling dreadful. I think I've realized what I was. Probably a couple trips to Lizzylange and help. But yeah, like I think I was on good form, but I just couldn't hold any numbers. Like one of the days that led out, they let him out and he's got top 10 at Columbia. Big shout out to Ted Cross, but he was doing like 310 watts which like should have been very easy that then. And I was on the wheel doing 310, like 5 minutes out of that. I can't do this. So anyway, we're going to try and have some form in the house last year because I said I would have form but unfortunately I wouldn't. So one of the, we're staying relatively now, but it's like a 2 hour ride. So it's not right next door. I think my big goal is trying to get a nutty time up here. And obviously like, you know, so last year I hit 350 watts, 61 kilos. I think hopefully I should be able to get back to that. That level obviously I've changed power. Me's I'm now in an invocerence. Maybe all you haters, you say wrong. So are you calling it that? I think the same numbers. So I think I should be able to get that. So you know top 25 is not really going to happen. You know 1400 farm is quite a lot. There are a lot of different segments. This is the official chrono course which I think is what most people tend to do it. As this one panties gone like 37 minutes up here or something. But there's also the V8 out which has some slightly different people. And I think basically a V8 out there is steeper and doesn't have this flat bit at the end. So when you zoom into the segment you'll realize that. I know actually if you've been to our devices, the course is a bit weird because obviously the climb stops about here but you sort of go through the town. This is always when they're finished with the Tour of France. You know, they go under the tunnel here, then they go around there and then there's a left hand corner. And so it's changing me as to go until until the end. So obviously that's that's where the strata segment ends for most people. So anyway. I think I want to try and get a really good time. So it's going to be you know just under an hour effort. One hour we like for you. Like that. I hope so. I'm hoping to get you know like top 100 maybe maybe better. I'm not 100 that's sure. I'm going to look at some calculations with numbers. I mean you sort of see this like Hessie and D330 what's in my 17 kilos. Like surely I'd be able to beat that. But I don't know. Could it be Amapouli? I might be able to. I don't know. Hamish born's a bit loud as well. You might have to get that pretty fast as well. So I'm hoping for a decent time up there. Obviously you know if I can get back to 350 what's for 20 minutes you extrapolate for 50 minutes maybe 320 and 330. So that's so far. But I'm the other thing I'm trying to get a little bit lighter get more down to 60 years maybe 59 years. See I've never actually really done it. I've never like and then people always going to kick off it like and be like, Oh, you're going to have any disorder like I'm not because. As you can probably tell like while I've been fat so not that I mean you know I mean like a bit heavier so. I'm just going to see like not go mental. We're just see if I can get down to like 59 years because like if you look at my high like I'm 173 and obviously you wouldn't like. It's a bit of back person because they're probably it's but if you look all the pros I'm so 173 they all subs 60 maybe 57. So I think. Is there could be potential for me to be lighter obviously like especially because I'm not doing bun tracing like if I was just doing that. Be isn't UK made the way doesn't matter like get on anything what 62 years because you know. No, the climbing isn't going to be issues. There is the other things on the flatness and the acceleration. So yeah it's just because I want to go for these and then obviously the end of the season we've got hill climb season and a box metal which needs. Doesn't need to happen. Say that's sort of the update on the old racing. If you look at the training you'll be seeing that I've been very lazy during exams. It was an absolute. Yeah just terrible performance for myself. I really was just not in not good form at all. You can see from. As soon as I finished uni I pretty much was ill that weekend can do any hours. This week's were all right by just realized that I was not in top condition for my exam. So I had to prioritize the exam which is yeah I guess understandable. And then you'll see that. On some rides here but this week was all right this is like a 12 hour week which is not. Not terrible but it's not great and then I got ill and no sorry that was not sweet but the weeks before that I was like pre-ill and stuff and can't really ride. I did a 13 hour week here which is you know decent it's not. It's not unreal. I till that was pretty soft like gave up it's got stitch and like. Just stuff like that I used to need to hard not. And then like this one is why there's five hours and then there's feeling dreadful and it's a bit ill and like. Yeah it wasn't really the one so. I think what we can learn from this is yeah just. Don't get ill basically and then I you know I got 20 hour week next week I don't think I'm gonna be doing 20 hours. My time's ill but you know we'll see and then the first big race I guess is the Bristol University time trial. It's like an open that we're doing. I'll put one. It should be alright. I'm gonna try and saw my TT by car then I'll be able to ride it but if not I've got man bees and stuff in the skin so she get around reasonably well. Hope to do maybe 320 watts which sounds a lot like if you think I did a test here on the Friday 300 so that would be one week. Two week. Three weeks after pretty much three weeks in a day to gain 20 watts which sounds a lot. Maybe it is a bit too much but I think I think you know 350 and could definitely happen because like if I train consistently and you'll see also my training is very different. I hate tempo after so you ever look to my train never do tempo waste of time and it is in my opinion for UK races and for races. Long climbs but obviously my main goal now is to effectively heal climb season really and just getting fast on the hit stroke segment. So I'm basically just gonna have fun on what I do and obviously if I'm going to be doing a big outs and wanting to get good times up there. So now it's lane, strawberry, lane but you know I love it at the same time I think everyone does. Then 20 minutes of efforts is the one I'm just getting more mentally hard as well so you're gonna see me doing more 20 minutes of blocks. So tomorrow is three hours. I read as I've got something I can't do three hours but it will be something I actually I was two times 20 minutes tempo with some endurance afterwards which is good. And then Jim obviously to make sure that I don't have a broken leg but I can actually walk so yeah that would be good. In terms of videos many are in the works many in the works I've got lots lined up but I need to make videos. Like I got them edited someone I just need to commentate but I'm just been lazy. What video about banana coming up? I've got in the pool in San Juan and some other ones in my Columbia might get some more from well banana alright. And then there are a couple others I've been thinking about doing. So yeah if you've got any more ideas let me know and when I'm free I will bang them out. I mean I am always free to do them I'm just lazy but when I stop being lazy I'll try and get a bit more relevant. Because at the moment I'm as relevant as my Caminish in a sprint now I love the number. Yeah it's not looking good for him either so any of you who are watching hopefully there will be some more videos for myself shortly.
