Halle Ingooiem

Since last week iv'e been feeling alot better having got rid of the camplobactor. 17th and 18th of june were much the same just doing 2hour recovery rides.
19th was a shit day went out in the windy coditions which then turned to raining windy conditions, which i decided it would be better to do the rest of the tempo on the wind trainer after turning around and heading back I turned left into the road to get home but the wind caught me and ended up slipping over nothing ended up happening other than losing a little skin off my elbow and hip lucky I was going slow, the rest of the ride was finished doing the rest of the tempo on the trainner.
20th was 2 x 10min intervals on the trainner followed by a 2hour ride on the road.
21st was when the tour finally caught up with me had rather tight legs, went for a 4hour ride with a 30min tempo at 2 1/2hours it was an awsome day to be riding.
22nd went and drove to where to the race start and rode the course minus to climbs as we missed them as the directions weren't very clear it was a rather hard ride as it was into a head/head cross wind the whole way which made it a solid 3hours.

23rd was monday a rest day, so I just chilled out went to the track and watched/helped the boys do there training, on the way back got some new stuff for my bike from this massive bike shop in Aalst.
24th was just a pre race hit out ride so that involved a couple of sprints and a 10min tempo.
25th Race Day Halle Ingooiem this was a pretty big race on the scale of things it had 3 pro tour teams riding in it so was ready so give it stink which i did knocking it up at the starting getting in most of the early attacks and ended up paying the price later in the race, got to the finishing circuits in the peleton/bunch and getting shelled on this 1k climb since we had to do this climb 7 times I ended up getting dropped with a bunch on this climb and got pulled out of the race with 2 laps to go. So it was a solid 170k day.
The one impression I got from racing with the pro's is either its full gas or fully off.
26th was another recovery ride for 2hours
