Cross season 2016/17 chat

I can't make Thursday evening this week for cross training - sorry @Demeaux. I think @biarittz is on the piss again anyway.

I'm going for a run or a swim. It's all about bang for buck right now.

Entry for the team championships is open here;

We need to get a shift on if we're entering a team so are @Sam, @biarittz and @MrParker still on for this?

it's the 1pm team champ race, correct? i'm in and will sign up tonight

Yes, that's the one.

will wait for our other team members to reply then get signed up. how was your race on sunday (apart from cold)

Challenging. A thawing course made every lap different in terms of grip, plus my patchy training over the past 6 weeks was apparent very quickly.

But I finished 20th and have now got 8 counting results for the overall league standings, so I'm up to 15th overall.

brilliant. hope you're pleased

Have got to be completely honest, I don't think my back will have sorted itself out by then.

Sorry.

That was my worry. Take your time to get it fixed, these things can be very debilitating. Have you seen a physio?

I'll race regardless, there's the non-team championship race in the afternoon, so I'll just ride that instead.

Thanks. I don't want to waste anyone's entry money.

After speaking to someone from Nuffield Health via my health insurance from work, the best plan of action was to visit a chiropractor. Had a consultation Thursday followed by a 'session', and had the second one tonight.

This is something I've ben suffering with on and off for years. Hope I can finally sort it out.

Internet cuddles @Sam

hope you get mended soon sam. a good chiro sound like a plan, plus regular appointments even after you're clear of the present pain, to avoid any later recurrence

Thanks Steve. Feel a lot more mobile today, but still have a persistent ache across the lower back. Taking the commutes into work very easy. Next session tomorrow!

How did last week's training go? Somewhat chilly? Were MF in attendance?

They were. Andy caught me and stayed away on a single speed.
There were 2 beers after anda discussion about all sorts of things.

We also saw two men who subsequently disappeared into the ether.

Ah yeah.

Alien abduction.

Have a good race tomorrow, Andy.

Thanks Sam. Got my front brake working properly now, so hopefully will have an improvement on last week and have two working brakes.

I know the real answer is JFGI or UTFS, but what time is the men's race in the World Champs today?

Cheers!

2pm GMT :0)

I'm getting too old for this.

Last season ?
Or season tooo long?
