been training pretty good over last week been feeling good, until friday where i started feeling pretty ill. just flu i think nothing bad. had to race at the weekend which i was really looking forward to, but feeling a bit sickly. it was at a track that i used to ride as a junior up in the midland. wont harp on about it but, didn't do well. always struggled with flat tracks and really thought all this training was going to start to pay off a bit for me. turns out it didn't. pretty pissed off really, had a fairly good run not really any major cock ups and got beaten by Marc Beaumont and a kid called Joe Smith, not ideal but congrats to them. i was sick i guess and its his local but still not a happy man. Feeling good on my bike right now, so not to worried.  

i know on a steep, tech track i can beat anyone on my day but im over having my weak pedaling as an excuse. track was still fun to practice and had some pretty sick lines dialed in, might have just been crown pleasers rather than the quicker line but people seemed pretty stoked on them. ha. 

looking forward to coming over State side next week. Got to do some filming here first with the British Monster Energy people, then fly over on Sunday.
