Phoenix riders David Murrell, Andrew Angwin, Alan Goode, Ken Iino and Matthew Harper raced under clear blue skies at the final of the Hog Will Winter Series this weekend.

David said:

“This was my first race in team strip, which I had been wearing in bed all week. Excitement only begins to describe my mood as we lined up for the start.”

“On the last lap I decided to attack with 400m to go. I soon broke clear and made a gap, but then it all started to go wrong. I foolishly looked at my HRM and saw I was at 180bpm. This was not good as the climb was still to come. With legs screaming and heart trying to pop outside my chest, I got swallowed up by the pack.”

In the 3rds Matthew Harper had no real difficulties keeping with the pace, and crossed the line as one of the top twenty finishers.

If you’d like to try racing for the first time, or if you’d like to get back into racing, please get in touch and maybe join us at one of our mid-week training sessions at Regents Park. And once again thanks to Taka Wu for the great shots.
