Fitness News #28 - Assessment Time

Fitness News

th_teamsprint013102009002.jpg 

 

Bit of a cold week we had this week, encouraged some of us to give the gym the flick.  Its this time of year that we need to double our determination to keep it ticking over.

 

Assessment Time

Hey I'm being assessed this Thursday at Fitness First North Sydney 5.30pm.  They are going to stick a video camera in my face and go over what I need to do better.  If you can make it to the class, it would be great to see you there.

 

Food Talk

 

I'll have what she's having

This morning while having a coffee a fit looking lady walked past with her shopping and what I could see sticking out of her shopping bags was largely vegetables.  Next time your at the supermarket, have a look at what's in the shopping baskets and how fit or unfit the shoppers look.  9 times out of 10 there's a direct correlation between what's in the shopping basket and the condition of the shopper.

 

The office lunch out

Friday was someone's last day at the office so we went out for lunch.  He wanted to go to Yum Cha so off we went.  Out came a series of food which I had no idea what it was, I had no idea how to rate it, nothing seemed close to the farm at all.

 

So what can you do to limit the impact of the office lunch;

  1. Encourage your co-workers to buy their food and bring it back to work.  That way you can eat food you prepared yourself
  2. If you are going out, encourage them to go to the food hall.  That way you can still bring your own food, or failing that at least you have better selection.
  3. Suggest the place to go to.  Usually most will go wherever someone suggests.  Be that person.
  4. If all else fails, apply the rules of the 5 secrets of food selection – see last weeks newsletter

 

 

Outdoor Cycling

 

Had 3 race meets scheduled for the weekend, but the 3rd one was cancelled.

 

Track Racing

Race all Winter (RAW) Friday Night

Well RAW continues to be my track training. Despite Mudgee been backed up with 9 spin classes, I still seem to be mid field in Div2, except for the really short stuff, which I suck at regardless of grade. I'm pleased with my performance.

Warmup race (and wheel race qualification)
7th. Made a tactical error not spotting the split occurring as rolled back. If I had been on the ball I would of being on the wheels of the 4 riders who got away, instead I had to ride around other riders and across the gap.

3 lap thingie
Last. Where I normally come in the short stuff. My heat seemed to go all the way, probably thanks to Scott, where other heats held back and sprinted. This time I wasn't dropped on the initial acceleration at least :|

Point a lap
Pace was hot, I sat in but didn't challenge at any point.

Combined - Middle Group
5th. Decided to go out with the Div 3 riders for a comparison. There was 26 riders and Crafty decided who to kick out. Scott had turned up with a T-shirt over his gear [in the hope that he wasn't spotted] but someone dobbed him in, so he was out. I tried to look inconspicuous and YES... Crafty kicked out someone else. I was in :D

Pace was pretty ordinary until the Bankstown kids got on the front and it upped a little. I got on the front and accelerated. when I rolled, I could Anthony was struggling in 3rd wheel, so I rolled in to fill the gap in front of him. One lap later I was on the front again and accelerated and rolled.

This is where it went wrong, I ended up boxed in when that young guy made his move, I couldn't respond until the other riders cleared out the way. I kicked and took 3 riders with me. James moved out of the way, went past and rolled to the back of the 3 riders. I could see that the other 3 riders didn't have the ponies to bridge the size able gap, so I rolled around at the back and then dropped off, looked behind me and there no one for at least half a lap. Man that new kid had killed the field, wish I was with him when he originally kicked, so I could of sucked his wheel. Also confirmed that even with rooted legs, Div2 is where it is for me.

 

Saturday 16th DHBC 81" Ominum - Tempe Velodome

Had a smash fess at my High Performance spin class (10th for the week) in the morning which resulted in seriously rooted legs, but the gear restricted Ominum was on, so it was full steam ahead. Arrived late at the track and hadn't changed my gearing, but the other riders were in the same situation, all changing their chain rings. One of the riders (Tim) decided that rather than change his gears, he'd ride some crap steel bike out of the shed. After the event he checked his gearing and it was 82.9", over the 81" limit LOL.

Flying 200
14.3 5th equal
. Only 0.2 slower than last time I did it on 96". Qualified me for A grade, for the other races

Scratch race - 15 laps
3rd (7 riders) Field broke apart and I ended up in no mans land

Missing Out - every 2nd lap
1st (7 riders) With 3 riders left I was pinned in, but the outside rider didn't ride close enough to me and I was able to squeeze thru to avoid elimination. That left 2 of us and I out sprinted to win. Comment later was how did you stand up and sprint on the back straight? Guess I'm more adapted to high cadence than the other riders.

Wheel Race - 8 laps
Last (7 riders) I was on Scratch, but there were 2 riders that were 20mtrs behind me. I hadn't recovered from the Missing Out and failed to get the wheel of the 2 riders behind me when they went past.

Madison - 4 laps - race 1
3rd (5 riders). James attacked with 1 3/4 laps to go. Tim and Chris got away from me

Madison - 4 laps - race 2
3rd (4 riders)
. This time I attacked at the top of the banking and simultaneous Tim attacked at the bottom. I had the wheel of Chris who had Tim's wheel but I wasn't able to go around them.

 

Road Racing

Dulwich Hill Criterion Series

Cancelled, due to the rain.  I rode to Waterfall and back instead
