Hamish Haynes’ Letters from Belgium #2
Hi folks, I'm very happy with the progress I have been making here, I'm confident of now delivering the required results.
I've been having a lot of fun racing and training getting some really good sessions done, with a very positive feeling on the bike. It's not all gone my way though...
- Letter from Hamish Haynes -
Hamish is doing well in the heartland.
I have problems this year with being very sensitive to the cold - it's crazy: a little bit of rain on a chilly day and I lose all power, which spoilt my race in Hoboken recently. I had to really fight, shivering like mad to stay in the race. Luckily it dried up and I warmed up in the last hour of the race.
Afterwards I got some more K's in, to make 235k for the day.
Funny thing was the next day was sunny and I felt like "10 men" again, and even better the day after: I was 4th and 2nd respectively and took a sprint competition to win a nice Festina watch for my dad. It goes without saying there were a whole heap of kilometers besides.
Enjoying the Belgian sunshine.
I've also been doing some hill training this week on the German/Belgian border, making a reconissance of the Tryptique Ardennaise parcours (16-18 May).
Before that however I have the Liedekerke interclub (12.5) and Puivelde Pro Kermis (14.5), so hope to have good news from all these races - I'll let you know!
Cheers, Hamish.
