I haven’t had much to report over the past month. I missed a
round of the Southern XC series in June due to a snotty cold, which has been
playing havoc with my Asthma ever since. We’ve heard plenty about Asthma in the
cycling press recently. My personal opinion being that if I needed 16 squirts
of Salbutamol to ride my bike I’d be sat at home and not winning the Vuelta a Espania!
Despite the glorious summer weather I’ve been prevented
from riding as much as I would of liked. Even as I’ve recovered I was still only
able to manage lower effort rides without getting out of breath. The good news
is that the end appears to be in sight. Tackling a couple of hills after work on
Tuesday didn’t result in a coughing fit or puffing on my inhaler like Chris
Froome. The recent low mileage, low intensity rides may not have been ideal
preparation, but my recovery comes just in time for the National Championships on
the 22nd.
