Noda Night Training 2008 12 30

Final training for the year. Not too cold and I was probably over dressed. Long sleeved lycra shirt, summer cycling shirt, winter jersey, long cycling pants, skull cap and a windbreaker. 3 from Semas, 3 from Apex. I managed to get 2 2nds and finished off the night with a win on the final sprint. (I think everybody was burnt out by then). 、
Sprint points:
うっしーさん3
ヤスさん2
安価白さん2、
トラ山さん2、
ピーター1、

The overall pace wasn’t as fast as usual, probably as there were not that many there. The intervals can be seen on the chart and I’m quite happy with the recovery of my heart after each sprint. Looks like I only took 4 of the 10 sprints seriously. Can’t win them all. Was hard enough to win one. At one stage coming around the dangerous corner there were a lot of cars and I got split from the group. One of the cars was a police car with its red lights flashing so I couldn’t chase them down and I don’t think they knew the cops were following. The cops went straight and we went left,I had to burn up a lot of energy just to catch up to them. Luckily the last set of lights before the sprint point went red and I could get to them.

We had a spectator last night who may join the trainings in the future. She left us a box of huge delicious strawberries and some Japanese dorayaki cakes which I gave to my sons when I got home. (One of which was eaten by Sora our Airedale terrier.

Need to get in another 72kms tomorrow to get to 7500km for the year. 1000km more than last year.
One guy tonight has racked up 18,000km!!! I wish!!!
