How was Towerlands for you both this weekend?
I hadn't been since they'd done it up. Loved the outdoor surface and huge warm up, although someone told us that on the Sat. the warm up was half the size as they had combined training to fit in too. Still, loads of room for us today!
Henry was a good boy, we went really to test our training and how it's progressing. I feel we're much better at home but needed to see if we could reproduce the same work at a comp. Answer............
............not quite yet!
I'm having to ride the tempi changes with much more power as otherwise H hides behind me and they get shorter and shorter the further we go.
Now they are much more in front of the leg and up in the shoulders but I'm having to concentrate SO much on putting the energy in and balancing it that I forget to count......aaargh!
Maybe one day I'll be able to do both!!!!!!
So today we made errors in the tempis, which annoyingly used to be dead certs when I rode them with no power but they were downhill and short
, which meant that I was disappointed with our mark of 62.5% but delighted with our placing of 2nd out of 12.
Back to the drawing board now and more hard work!
Hope you both had good days.
