Tomorrow is the second race for me. The weather is getting a lot colder then before and it isn’t as fun as before to ride my bike. However the sun is shining today and i’m going to take a short ride today regardless of the lower temperatures outside.
This week i haven’t trained at all since i’ve been away with work in Malmoe for 2 days and had a lot of other things to attend to, but i feel pretty good anyway. I guess that my smoking is going to make me more exhausted this time around. I’ve been a naughty boy, but i’m seriously trying to quit smoking 20 cigarettes per day. It’s hard, but i’m going to make it.
I have calculated that if i stop smoking i can afford a new bike this winter or early spring 2008. Hopefully i can stop sooner then later with the smoking part of my life. I actually feel a lot better when i haven’t smoked for 24 hours or more, but the hardest thing is to not go to the store and buy new ones.
I wish it was more hard for me to buy new cigarettes then it is today, i guess i could ask the girls in the store not to sell me cigarettes, but i don’t think that they are willing to do that, since they make money doing it. I guess i just have to become more disciplined when it comes to buying and smoking cigarettes.
Anyway, i’m looking forward to tomorrow’s race and i hope that the weather is good and my legs are up for the 37km race. I’m looking to make the course in 1 hour 15 minutes, since i know the course very well and i have ridden it a lot of times before. I wonder what the competition is like on tomorrow’s course…
So, if anyone wants to see the great big walrus riding his bike around the Glan Runt tomorrow, then you should be in Norrkoping, Sweden and at the Himmelstalund Field and sporting centre. The start for me is 09.30 tomorrow morning.
