NO TURKEY TILL XMAS
Hi to everybody to who reads my blog. Merry xmas and happy new year.!!..
Apologies for no new entries in a few weeks but ive been busy doing rather than saying!!!
Ive started sessions with the BCF academy guys and girls at Sheffield indoor (MON & FRIDAYS) and also myself and Jez Hayes(talent team manager) have been busy with a camp in Castleton with the BCF talent squad. (Pics coming soon)
This was a week long affair with Shanaze Read, Lewis Lacy, Dan Price, Dan Thorne, Luke Tamblyn all being put through there paces for 5 solid days. Shanaze was "winding down" but still squatted 120 kg for 4 reps in the gym session. ( my hats off to you Shanaze you are a fine athlete not sure about the starbucks music though.. he he!!)
We did sessions at the indoor, check video clips of Lewis Lacy taking it apart (sorry its so dark) and Liam phillips showing the practice gate who is BOSS!! ( nice one Liam)
We did some great road rides in sub zero temps. This was cold icy hard work. The guys all stuck at it and showed great determination and desire especially on the 3 hour sub zero road ride. I wanted to give up after 5 mins!!!.
The climax was a SHORT 2 hour jaunt up MAM NICK(correct name finally) a hill climb in minus 7 degrees completed by Luke, Dan P, Dan T (lewis was injured) .
Check pics to see how hard this was and Lukes determination (he hates road riding)Also check the fellas descending Winnats Pass a narrow fast downhill espcially when icy!!.
I think we all left home inspired by the week and are looking forward to kicking some Foreign ass in the internationals races in 07 to get payback for all the hard work.
Mean time we are all attending a coaching camp in Loughborough this weekend so i will keep you posted on that.
see ya Mike.
