Well how frustrating was that!?
My first race back after my crash and i only got 15mins in, for a tenner! Oh well, so i actually felt ok fitness wise, maybe not so good on the bike handling though. Confidence noticably lower compared with pre-crash Adam. Oh well, it will come.
As a result for the first 7 laps i was moving towards the front, but was noticing that the track was getting greasier. As a result i decided to take it easy and let myself drift towards the back of the race. Low and vehold one lap later the crash happened on the bottom bend. If i had have been two bike further forwards i would have been down, again.
Somebody somewhere was looking down on me with a smile last night!
Anyways, the heavens then preceded to completely open. That was that, i was going to stop anyway after the crash (as im off on holidays on saturday and didn't fancy spending a week in the alps with a broken collar bone!) but so did everybody else.
Number in, back to the car. Where i sat in the boot of my car getting changed. So first race for 3 weeks and what do i forget, a bloody towel! So there i was using the the collection of slightly dirty golf towels i use as rags to protect my bike in the car to dry myself off!
Anyhow, Mainly just frustrated that it will be another two weeks until i race again, meaning a total of 5 1/2 weeks out of racing. Not good. Im hoping for a real late season charge now!!!
