A New Focus?

The bike racing season is well under way by now and I’d love to be updating my blog with self-promoting accounts of good sensations and beautiful races. A few months ago, I signed for British based squad 23c-Foucus, a team I’ve regularly encountered over the past few years, also being based in the South-East. The team will be riding the premier calendar series, the top domestic national A & B events, and have secured guest appearances in the televised tour series: the perfect setting to exhibit my reverse-break away  tekkers’ to the world.

It’s a racing strategy which has been all but enhanced through recent injury. I’m currently side-lined waiting for results of an MRI scan on my back, having not taken to the start line for a single road race so far this year. For now, all I can do envisage my Cancellaraesq strength, and if I tell everyone it enough, they may just believe it.

For now the focus is getting a diagnosis, fixing the problem, and getting in shape for races later in the year. I’m in good hands being treated by EIS sport medics at Queens Medical Centre in Nottingham. Any hospital with free coffee in the waiting room gets my approval; I’ll take free coffee over good health care any day. At least the governments got its priorities right on that account.

My one saving grace is a final year dissertation deadline a week away, so at least my time isn’t filled with day-time TV and hangovers. Not yet anyway. I’ve also been accepted onto a masters degree in exercise physiology next year, so will be blessing Lufbra with my presence into 2014 and beyond. Lock up your daughters.

That new Focus? Well, it’s sitting in my garage, for the time being at least, anyway.
