I was feeling so good in the morning and strong that I thought I would coud be a big part of the team plan – roll off the front, all 6 of us, and take only Yates and Bauer as the other 4 Share the Road riders were stuffed from being on the front for the last 2 stages.  Well our plan didn’t work (not enough wind) and nor did my legs!

Quite like the idan that I felt so bad but then got over that and started thinking – I’m going to be sweet – keep attacking – I’m loving the pain!

Time for dinner.  Stats:

Av speed: 44.6kph (tail cross wind)

Av HR: 158bpm

Distance: 101k

Time 145mins

Had my rub, lots of water.  Feeling not too bad!
