So close to racing

Feel so close to the start of the season now.  My first race of the year is the Perfs Pedals race on the 13th Feb, which I must say I am looking forward to more than my Birthday.  Feel like a proper geek being able to recite the dates, locations and start times of my first 5 races without even looking. 

Training on the whole has been going well, have dropped another kilo from when I last had my body fat percentage test so feeling pretty lean.  Shame I got dropped on every single hill by Tom and Josh on Sunday-finished a 4hr ride at 11pm on Saturday after starting work at 7.15am and finishing about 6.30pm (uni assessment work).  Have been feeling a bit rough recently as have had a lot going on at school and with moving in, being leaner at the moment and in such a germ filled environment I am being so paranoid about picking up any illnesses after such a hard winter training program.  Been introducing some more Zone 5 intervals in this week which I am currently enjoying as a refreshing change and feel like my turbo traininer is in as much pain as I am.

Can't wait to get the race bike out and test my legs, am sure I am not the only one with a decent winter but am feeling optimistic.  From looking round at blogs of my team mates, it looks like we will have a really strong team this year.
