It's been two months since last post...time just pass by!!!!
The spring season has been one big roller coaster ride....
After a quite good winter training with NO sick brakes I got hit BIG time by the early spring flue , which kept me off bike/off training for 14days.....very painful to be stuck in bed as summer temperatures & the fist comp hit the calendar:-(
So I missed Tio-Mila (big foot-orienteering club relay event in Sweden) and the first round of the CZ MTBO cup(in Hungary!), but got back on the bike/training and hit it hard......maybe too hard!
2nd round of CZ MTBO cup was in flat sand terrain in south moravia and though I was a bit sceptic I landed a 9th place in the CZ Long distance Champs....remember I'm now riding the Elite category! cool. At the middle distance I ran out of power and therefore concentration - 14th!
Then came a week full of training, with a long 3 day weekend in Krusne Hora and more than 11hrs in the sadle!
Leading into a prep period for the 3rd CZ MTBO cup weekend, close to PRG - I was ready to give max and hoped for 2 x Top 10....ended 11th & 10th, so again absolute ok...though I was not satified!
Then the first BIG goal of the season...Kral Sumava/King of Sumava....103km MTB marathon!
Was really fired up and prepared for a super performance inproving my start number as 65th from last year......but everything went wrong and ended 71! after 6.31hrs in the mud!
To punish my self and prove that I'm not THAT bad I choose(big mistake!) to go for a long Sunday recovery ride, 3.45hr in the hills south of PRG.....Monday I had to cancel my spinning class after 70min!!!!
That's 9days ago now...haven't done ANYTHING since and still the knee hurts as soon as I load it with a bit of work....walking up the stairs or just leaving all weight on the right leg:-(
T finalize a horror period I caught some cold and stomach flue, so mood and shape is way below cero these days!!!!!
The good thing now is that....IT CAN ONLY BE BETTER from here on.........when it turns I'll return with a more pictures desription of what went wrong at KS, but for now there is no mood to say anything else than F...!
Will be back soon!
