SOS: Sulking Out, Sprinting On – Second Again, You Beaut Daryl! Ashburton, Canterbury ☀️

{"raceId":17244787060,"athleteId":2188545,"name":"SOS: Sulking Out, Sprinting On – Second Again, You Beaut Daryl! Ashburton, Canterbury ☀️","description":"Right, so I was lying in bed having a bit of a sulk about missing Pyramid Valley – real pity-party stuff – when I remembered Ted Feldbrugges book. He’s been through hell and back with a spinal injury, and his SOS strategy kicked in:\nStop crappy thinking.\nObserve your sulky behaviour.\nShift your thinking.\n\nSo I did. Chucked the mope, texted Kyle Gray at Tinwald, and got myself sorted. Nothing like a last-minute decision to line up for a hard-and-fast 48K to snap you out of it.\n\nTurns out, they weren’t mucking around with the handicap. Got slotted into a solid crew: Quinten , Daryl Kircher, Steve Caldwell , and Alex Hooper – all weapons. We were off 25 minutes back, a solid five behind last week’s mark. Game on.\n\nWe rolled hard from the gun. First break was chasing us down and sure enough, they caught us by the end of lap one. Bunch got a bit bloaty then, rhythm went wonky. One bloke riding like a shopping trolley in a crosswind – absolute scenes. But once things smoothed out, we got ticking along nicely.\n\nFelt strong, not superhuman, just comfortably in the hurt zone. On the hill I gave it a nudge – rolled over the top first both times, just to see if anyone wanted to play. No big splits, but a few riders disappeared out the back. Natural selection, Tinwald-style.\n\nFinal 3K and it was the usual cat-and-mouse shenanigans. Enter allan broomhall – my 5 Passes teammate – who threw down a stinger. Chase on, pace dropped, then up again. Classic yo-yo stuff. I was surfing wheels, Daryl Kircher ahead, then me ahead, then me dreaming of the win… and then bam – Daryl does what Daryl does. Rolled me clean by two bike lengths. The bloke’s a class act, no two ways about it.\n\nSecond again. Two from two. Still, no sulking this time – good race, legs are coming right, and I reckon there’s a W brewing soon.\n\n\n\n😨 Overtraining warning\n🐆 High Intensity Training (high intensity)\n🚵 Flat ground Ride\n🧀
