I'm 17 and am currently seeing great gains from around 20 hours a week training. Just gone into overdrive as I got called up for a 24hr team race in 1 1/2 weeks and I'm completely unprepared, so doing as much as I can handle to get the body used to tired legs. Starting my taper wednesday next week, and racing sat-sunday.

I just had my first crit season (and first ever block of racing, first time I'd raced, e.t.c. all firsts). Started In C grade, got put up to B grade, have dominated both for the season, and ended up winning the series-worth several hundred to me Baptism of fire

Road season starts in april, and the long km's are to drop a little weight so I'm the climber I was before I started sprint training for crits.

Currently racing B Grade Track-showed up last night with 90km already in the legs, expecting to fail, and won every b grade race for the night. Soon into A grade track.


And I ****ing love every bit of it!
