I missed the Tuesday race due to playing Foot-Golf which was a bad move. Hoofing a heavy football around a golf course messed up my right leg, knee, ankle and foot. After hobbling around the house for two days I thought I would see how my leg behaved whilst cycling. Cycling must use entirely different muscles as I felt surprisingly comfortable during the warm up but I couldn’t risk a fast start and sadly had to watch all hope of a draft disappear in the first minute. Tried to form an alliance with ‘robinagy’ but we couldn’t get a good rhythm and were probably not well matched to be effective so I pushed on and caught ‘derrydingle’ before letting him go on the final climb. By now I felt I was holding back the effort to protect my leg but my heart rate suggested my effort was high, perhaps this was more to do with high temperature in room … who knows? Will rest up for a few days, going to need two good legs in the next few weeks

I was either asleep at the start or got glitched, but suddenly I was 70 – 100 m behind the big group I thought I was with and had to chase.  Caught the group, passed through, and finally caught  Andy_UP.  I was content to let Andy sit on my wheel and pull him up to nielsbrynnum who was still a couple hundred meters ahead.  A few km later, saw Niels, got excited, and dropped Andy (sorry, Andy!).  Caught Niels on the last climb, but then he surged, I couldn’t keep up, no energy left after all that chasing, and got gapped just before the last downhill.  Crazy downhill: I was on the drops, tucked on the top tube, spinning in the 140s, still could not close the gap.  Good on you, Niels for recognizing that the real finish line was the top of the last climb. We’ve had some really good head-to-heads, I think we’re even now; looking forward to the next one!

Also yesterday evening we gave vent to a beautiful race. This time I thought I’d pick up the pace first to be able to place with someone a bit further up and work towards aiming for the top ten. It seemed possible, I was with a small group of 3/4 riders with Kin, Chak and Neil…. but in the final hills, the Canadian duo had taken a little margin, in the last descent I pedaled at a good pace to see I managed to recover if I could and closed +25” from Kin, but I always kept an eye behind me to be sure that Neil was satisfied with 13th. I wish you a good final battle, unfortunately I’m going to the beach hoping to start fighting again with everyone to improve and get once in the top ten 👋

it Was time for Mucker’s worldwide race again💪 Have recently renamed the garage where the trainer stands to the boiler room🥵 although the last few days have not been so hot, the humidity has been nauseating. But what the heck, turn on the fan and off you go. I got really tired even before the start when I saw Simon H at the bottom of the screen was there. That man just makes life really hard on the bike. But also cool because you want to beat him at some point. (didn’t happen today either🙄) The front group was quickly formed with 4 strong riders. Simon H, Karel S, Niels B, and myself say the pig. The route was perfect for doing a lot of small accelerations on the small bumps that were numerous all along the way. So we kind of took it in turns. With about a third to the finish, Niels B and Karel S started to fall behind every time we hit a hill, and I knew it would be between Simon H and me in the end. I had planned the last small hill before the final to make a surprise attack, a bit far-fetched considering that there was a climb towards the line as well. But Simon just gave it 1.5-2.0 w/kg more, and I had to give up. I am quite satisfied with my second place 🥈🥈🥈👍
