Week Roundup

Finally, something to talk about! I finished my exams on Tuesday after a very long week out at the RDS. I had 6 of them and 5 went really well and had one dodgy one-maths. I hope I passed but I think I might have to repeat in August-bummer. I took the day off on Wednesday as I was still getting over my traumatic evening. A bouncer in CitiBar (a kip of a place on Dame St.) smacked me across the face because he managed to hear my comment on how he shouldn't grab girls by the neck to get them out. Was never going to go back to the place anyway but especially not after this! Boycott CitiBar!!

On Thursday I hit the gym with Gibs after a very long break (almost 3weeks!). Apart from being really tired between sets, we could almost lift the same weight we had been before. Happy days I thought... That evening I was heading out the door to the weekly Epic club race to find out that my brother had my cycling shoes in his van. I grabbed the roadbike in rage and set off into Wicklow. 90Km later and I was in bed. Woke up the next morning aching all over. Not so much from the biking but the gym. My arms and core are torn to bits so I can't really move around. They are still in bits now. Might be another 3 weeks before I can go back!! I took Friday off to spend with my generous girlfriend who bought me a pair of these last week. I am absolutely delighted with them! Got out on the big bike today for some sunny spin fun. Was a brilliant spin around some dusty dry 3rock trails. Everybody was absolutely flying especially the recently reincarnated DjCromie. Tomorrow I'm heading up to round 6 of the XC NPS in Belfast. It is in a small park up there so I'm not expecting much of a course and doubt I'll be going too well with all the time off the bike and the training cram this week but I'm sure the craic will be there as always. What else... I entered the Wicklow 200 yesterday in a moment of madness. Don't know why I did it really- I think it had something to do with not wanting to leave Oisin alone with the roadies though ;-) Will post back with a bit of a review on tomorrows race. Only myself, Fergal and Oisin heading up I think. People are getting soft already and it's only May!

My jump on todays super sunny spin. DjCromie swears he'll do it next time.
