Since my last post, I have taken on more challenging races and could immediately feel the difference in level. I completed all but the last few miles of a 63 mile race in the East Midlands Road Race League but could see that I need to increase my training to be competitive in these events. I'll be attempting two more of these races this season and hope to progress. Meanwhile I competed in another East Midlands Development race and was pleased to be placed 5^th – one more chance left for a win!!
