Just looked mind, I'm not completely mental.

Might be difficult TRO. When I looked at the turbo, there was no sign of a bike

Interesting read Gobi - I'm in Glenner's shoes though - I'll never get to the pointy end so it's all about enjoyment and lower systolic pressure. It doesn't sound like AG racing will be fun if you don't like the people.

The thing is winning a Euro or World may be good for my future coaching plans but I'm not even sure I want to pursue the coaching either right now.
Mtb distance racing and CX are a lot of fun and hard. I'm also a nobody at both of them and that brings it's own challenge

Winning a Euro or a World would be excellent for coaching credentials, but it’s not the be all and end all. I know some superb swim coaches that have never troubled the pointy end (yet their protégés have). Sometimes the “do-ers” lack the mental capacity to analyse, plan and personalise training regimes.
But it certainly doesn’t do you any harm to be able to say you won something big.

Triathlete/ duathlete types seem to respond well to doers. This is from feedback and chats with people who use coaches.
I coached a lot if runners when I was a descent runner.
Picked up triathletes as a solid duathlete but have also not got some good clients because they went with a "brand" ( oh well he won xxxx)
Got a few back later who realised good athletes are not always good coaches.
