I am sometimes very reluctant to race, dunno why. Just feel like forgetting the whole racing thing and just do training sessions and ride for fun, but then I regret missing a race and feel great after I've actually bothered to participate in one. It's hard to raise any enthusiasm sometimes, especially if you've been working all day at the track, to want to stay on and race in the evening, I found the league almost impossible because of this and other work commitments. At least now I know not to bother aiming for it next season, just do the omniums and maybe the SE champs, problem is,the races at herne hill are always scratch, devil and points, none of which I enjoy.
Next season I will aim to improve my speed and stamina at speed, try to really make a dent in my f200tt and 500m, then start seeing if I can do an un-embarrassing kilo. I will not feel pressure to race in the league or anything else for that matter, I'm happy to train hard with focus for events I actually want to do, not slog round the track for endless laps.
