It's me again!

Hi guys,

Every blog you read it 80% filled with posts along the lines of "wow it's so long since I updated on here". Here is another one to add to the tally. Sorry guys.

So since my last post. Things have gone crazy for me. Graduating, Racing, Flying, Working at Canyon, Sickness, Health, Cyclo-Cross, Beer. You know all those good things that fill up every single available second of my time. Right now I am sat back at my parents place and finally have some time to calm down and relax.

SO here it goes again. For me winter training is only just begining. I have been fighting some really bad difficulties with my legs and my bike fit for a while now. Thankfully I am sorting myself out, with a little help from an awesome physio, and I am super pumped for the season ahead. I just wish I had another couple of months!

Anne Dickins, who is a fellow 24hr racer in the UK has worked wonders on, wait for it... my hip, glute, rec fem, spine, calf, bike fit, posture and lots more all in about 4-5 hours of treatment. I am now finally feeling balanced on the bike, fitting on a saddle again and have more enthusiam to ride and train than I have since 2010 (the last time I was injury free)

I wont bore you with the details but I had a lot going wrong and finally see some light at the end of the tunnel. I might be late but I will be fast this year. That is exciting. Very exciting.

Here is a couple of pics from my treatment which are kind of cool.

First, single leg squats - you can tell so much my what is going on in these. Can you spot the improvement?!

And then, thanks to a bit of pelvic re-alignment I am now not only sitting on the my saddle correctly but getting all my weak muscles in my right leg are firing properly. It feels great.

So I am going to wrap this post up and get out on the bike.

Till next time,

Trev :)
