Sleep Deprevation Racing

Well pretty much Mondays race in Haro was a dismal affair, im not going in to huge detail except to say I dont opperate well on sleep depravation. All week we have had the Baranain Feista happening literal outside our bedroom window, fire works and bands playing till sometimes 3 even 4 in the morning is not good for racing cyclists. After four hours sleep I CREPT. Pulled the pin affter an hour an half.

Last night I managed to get a good uninterupted 6-7 hours after a nice glass of red wine. Bang out like a light which was choice. Today I could still feel the lag in my legs a tad but got stuck in anyway. From the go things were looking good as almost 15 of us were away and with a lot of riders tired from tones of racing, and pretty well every team represented int he break it looked like we were gone, not to be however and attacks came and went till the 60k mark when after a pretty solid effort 10 of us got away, we stayed clear till about 90k. Unfortunaly at around 95k the last monster climb began which destroyed me. I crused home to finish around 65 palce but was happy as my legs seem to be returning after a pretty stink couple of races.
