November 2008 – Well the fun was over – (Race season) ended with an exhausted Daz and for the month of November didn’t even think about exercise. The weight was put back on (not such a bad thing as was looking a tad skinny) And the turbo and bikes were put away- out of sight.
BUT December soon came and I was straight back into training- it was a shock to the system, the cold was biting on the bike up in the Yorkshire Dales. At least my water bottle didn’t freeze this time- last year when I went to take a drink I had a shock – the contents of the bottle had turned to a solid block!
The film ‘A Bunch Of Amateurs’ which I filmed earlier in the year was out and the bike stunt can be seen here, I was a little singed after the 3rd take as the special FX guys overcooked it on the fire…..
So got through December without any problems I always love Christmas in Yorkshire and am always proud of my roots up there. It is so so b
eautiful.
The training with bike and runs were great fun as was the food! Me and Toby the Dog were so pooped after our exercise regime! He is nearly 12 !
January was quiet on the stunt front and race front too. Got the FLU -that took me out for a week. So no work, no play. Now back to some heavy training and the preparing for the TCR 10k in Feb -
my first race of the season! Oh and the new TT bike on order…can’t wait to get my hands on it. (Thanks to Cannondale/ Bike and Run)
