Hey Ed,
I raced in the MTB race eventually, I finished on 43/116. It was acceptable considering I have rode less than 500km this year. The course was nice, except for a muddy portion where I managed to crash due to a left calf cramp. No injuries, just extremely muddy. The calf cramp passed by Tuesday morning, as I had tons of streching + Voltaren massage.
Today I'll do the 30min easy + 6 x 1min fast session. Target pace for 6 x 1min will be around 4m:05s/km.
I'll be at home this weekend, so I believe I'll be able to try a 4k or 5k time trial this Saturday. The problem is it's getting hotter each day with temperatures for this week being around 30 degrees C.
