You've got your sleep and diet going good. Just focus on where you want to be and you'll get there.

And yes, 1230m elevation, some people do double that on some rides that ive seen on strava.

the weekends training/racing

Sunday morning was the Townsville rockwheelers XC2, it was a 2 hour race where the rider had to do as many laps possible within the time limit. I managed to do 4 laps and missed my last lap by about 3 minutes on the 8km coarse.

Managed to place 2nd in my category 5 seconds behind the lead. At the end me and the lead rider were sprinting to the end but once we hit the little climb before the finish my legs died and i dropped back.

Sunday

Food:

Breakfast: 3 oat bars and a milo

Lunch: 1 hotdog

Dinner: satay chicken

Sleep: 10pm-5:30am
