3 things every rider should do on race day🏁

🔵 Warm up - with intent:
- Helps reduce the chance of getting injured when riding
- Gets you switched on to ride both mentally and physically
- Fights initial arm pump build up

🔵 Stay hydrated
- Keeps the body working optimally
- Reduces mental fatigue as the day goes on
- Dehydration is linked to onset of arm pump

🔵 Use practice to drill technique
- Starts the race day off with a focus on safe and effective riding
- Adds to an initial warm up
- Less likely to make mistakes as the day goes on

You don’t have to be a pro rider…

Simple habits can help you to improve - whether you ride for fun.
Or want to take it to the next level 📈

⚡️Back racing again after wrist fusion🤛

After injury my wrist in 2022, getting back on the bike was never guaranteed.

This last year I wanted to give it another go and had a ride at Weymouth beach race back in October.

Was a good come back ride and I knew I’d be able to get back to it this year, the wrist is sore but adrenaline and the love for it pulls you through.

The last few rides and this weekend two-day event — have been helpful to get back the confidence, look at technique, and learn how to ride smarter with the wrist limitation.

I’ve noticed positioning and technique have a bigger impact on my riding now.

Arm pump is still there at times, but what was good to test out is how much my strength and fitness carried me through.
I was able to last full races without feeling completely battered — and maintain technique far better than I expected.

After 4 years off, I feel that’s not down to luck or skill.

It comes from my work and consistent training that I’ve been doing since starting CrossFit and training for competitions post injury. All the speed, strength work, and building a proper engine off the bike has helped massively.

Although just being fit isn’t the answer to arm pump and fast riding. It’s definitely helped me get back to it pretty smoothly with even more fun than I remember!

This weekend reminded me exactly why I coach riders the way I do.

Strong body. Better control. Safer Riding
