ok so here it is, my training log for 2012. pre note: last year 2011 was my first year racing(got a road bike mid 2010) started training at Sundrive velodrome in summer past, 3 weeks before the first league. hadn't done much training before that as I had a serious ankle injury. trained most Monday nights at Sundrive in C…

been a while, I had a detailed update with dates and data but its on a different computer.

Duane Delaney, 1st time doing a weekend event, made bad mistakes but also did some good things. won the mile race by a good distance, did a poor flying 200m 13.72 and also didnt realise every place counts in the scratch race so dropped out at 15th, could have finished in the middle. I think I was 6th overall in my group, top 5 got to do the 500m tt.

I won the mile race again on wednesday night last week in the league and a 3rd place in the keirin, should have done better in that but got some more experience as to what I can/should do. the scratch race was interesting as I made a breakaway in lap 2 and another rider followed, if only I had got closer to his wheel during the half lap changes/up&overs. I didnt get any draft benefit and tired myself out with a few laps to go. it would have been nice to finish top3 in a scratch(would have been 1st/2nd)

I put the 12lb flywheel on my road machine 4 weeks ago so its now 18lb, took a while to get my flying 200s back as accelerations were tougher.
I spent 3 weeks working on 5mins max power, went from 320watts to 370watts. it helped with the mile and scratch race but I should be working on 30-60sec max power, I just liked the change of 'pain'

flying 200m tonight was 13.09 at the end of a tough session at Sundrive, I have good faith I will do much better this saturday with a better approach to the line and fresher legs. I leave it too late to accelerate so Im still building up speed after the start line and have more left as I cross the finish line. I keep thinking of the first time I tried it last year but Im not gonna burnout like I did at first with the training Ive been doing. I need alot of work on my standing start but the biggest problem is my weight, trying to get it moving is tough.

not been sleeping or eating well and had some problems, surprised with my progress but when I train I give it 100% like my life depended on it. another 8week league starts this wednesday, I might work a little harder at the scratch races if it doesnt effect my sprinting progress. already looking ahead to 2013, plan is to drop 10kg in bodyweight, start gym work 2months earlier.
