Caoimhe started her first race day today at the tour of Valencia. Haven’t spoken to her yet but think she rode okay anyways. Demi Vollering soloed to the win so it’s a pretty hilly course for the 4 days. Anything you want me to ask/find out/let you guys know about from inside the race? Not too clear on what content to share yet but happy to ask whatever and share some bits for you guys! Caoimhe is using this week as the third week of her training block and she’s pretty tired already. She’s had tough 3-4 day blocks all of the time and been smashing efforts. She’s probably never began a race while so tired but if she can cope with it then she should be in good shape coming into the classics once she recovers and absorbs the load. She’s definitely on the line between overdoing it but hoping that she stays on the right side of things and gets through the week okay.

I just wondered what people in the group do apart from intravenous Lemsip and the like. Do you cut back on calories or even increase them? I’ve been in a really good spot recently training and nutrition wise and want to get back asap and in good shape.
