So i'll apologize right off the bat and tell you i suck at blogging. In my first blog EVER (that's right EVER ladies and gents) i just want to sum up my season so i can keep it on record somewhere. This season, i've learned so much about riding and even about myself as a person. From learning how to sprint, how far I can ride, to self confidence and leadership. It's kinda an odd feeling just figuring stuff out on your own like i did.
One thing that's been bumbing me out lately is the fact that there isn't alot of us U17/Junior riders in Juventus so if you're between the ages of 14-17 i think you should consider racing (you'll never regret it).
I want to finish just by posting my results of this season and some notes on them so i can compare them to next season..
Lethbridge HillClimb- 4:26 (need to sprint sooner at the top)
Lethbridge RR - 02:26:08.00 (27th) - flat course at the beginning, turn around gets hilly
Velocity RR - (always windy on the back stretch)
Aerobic Power iTT - 36:00.00 hard off the start (uphill all the way), take turnaround wide, big spin on the descent back)
Pigeon Lake RR - keep the legs spinning on the descents, gear up for sprint on last corner before the hill.
Devon GP HC - 02:14.00 - don't look down, sprint at the barriers on the left side.
Devon itt - 01:00:58.00 VERY windy, bonked easily, watch out for the valley as halfway point to turnaround
Tour de Bowness HC - 04:55.00 - memorize the corners on preride, hold center line, sprint on second last corner (or 3rd)
Tour de Bown... Provincial Crit - hold line, use the hill as a sprint point, keep descents tight.
RR Provincials - basically a big crit course. try not to bonk ;p
Now that that's done i'm posting one of the best songs OF ALL TIME.
...Old Yellow Bricks - The Arctic Monkeys...
Seriously, get that album, it's. the. best.
The best to you all,
Dylan
