Its that time of year when exams roll around and I can't prioritise like i'm so used to doing. Need to train, but there's no time to train because need to study for exams, the grade doesn't matter so maybe I should go on my bike, nah its cold and raining, a good excuse to stay inside and study. This is the little geek and cyclist Heather's sitting on either shoulder yelling at me and everyday this happens so that after 5 days I have stayed inside everyday studying and never getting on my bike. Meanwhile I look outside and the winds died down and the suns out to play and i'm sitting here once again inside.
Anyone think its ok to have the weekdays off the bike, kill it on the road in the weekend and then after tuesday (when this dam exam is done) that I can go back to training and still be ready by New Years for the tour, or am I kidding myself?
Anyone got any motivation tips, post below or on my facebook.
Oh and for any Wellington road riders, there's a late addition to the PNP calender, tomorrow racing from Gorrie road in Whitemens valley A,B,C and D grade 1.30pm. Ill be on the bike tomorrow for sure and try not get dropped by B grade. I'm being brave and going up a grade. Wish me luck.
five days off the bike can't be very good training heat... but its too late now to turn back, aslong as u get out for a couple of rides on the weekend and then smash the tarmac after ur exam you'll be good. your motivation should be that you know how hard it is to catch up to the bunch by yourself if you fall off the pace so you need to make sure you are up to the race pace and even better than the rest!!! this should be sweet for you because you are the most self-motivated person i know! go hard, and good luck for tuesdays exam :)
