Yesterday I pulled another big training/racing day in preperation for the upcoming national championships. I started out by riding 37 km to the race, then did a 120 km kermesse with a 45 km/hr average speed, then rode home. In total for the day I got 200 km and a good case of fatigue. Hopefully the super compensation puts be in a good place for the 165 km road race this weekend.
As for the race is was a tough one. I missed the break of 14 that went after about 30km. It was another case of bad luck, with me getting some moves, watching guys thought were strong and just not being in the right place at the right time. In the end the break was only 10 guys and they finished only about 15 seconds up on the peleton. In the bunch sprint I managed 31st place. Not a great race, but considering the ride to the race and the fact that my sprint is bunk its not bad. I was strong enought to be in the break, but the race was so fast no one could get across. The form is good and moral high so I think the next race should be a good finale to my Belgium campaign of 2006.
Stay tuned for result from Sundays epic event and a fairwell to Belge.
