[quote]I still maintain that I am a Mr Average. If you dont do the fast rides and miss your turbo sessions, you cant blame that on genetics (you could blame the not liking the cold gene I suppose).
George and Myself trained the hardest and did more training rides than everybody else so it comes as no surprise to me that we are performing well.
There's no denying Paul that training hard is very important if you wanna do well in races. But you've got to admit some people bring a lot more to the physiological party than others. For example I'm sure if some club members followed the intensity of yours and Georges training they'd probably overtrainin or even get a repetivie strain injury.

I remember reading about Roberto Haras being give the same training program as Lance Armstrong back in the US Postal days and arriving at the tour burnt out. Yes hard work pays off but if you've been blessed with sporty genes thats half the battle won

Maybe.
My last comment wasnt aimed at anybody in particular.
I just want people to understand that for most there is not a genetic barrier for success in CAT 2/3/4 races.

Paul, don't worry I know what you mean, I decided to lay off the training over winter and then colds etc kept me from starting until late February so I wouldn't expect to be anywhere near you and George. Maybe the genes comes into it in not getting sick?? (Although I'm usually quite good at avoiding illness myself, rarely a day off sick etc - just this year its seems not so good at avoiding them). Also I think while you and George probably have average genes your determination and drive this year is obviously more than the average club rider/racer.
