Finished: 7pm
Total Distance:185km
2800m of climbing.
First 80km - Felt Good
80km to 125km - Starting to tire.
125km to 165km - Very tired, some cramping
165km to 175km (col de Marie Blanche): Firstly tough then too be honest.... horrific - last 3 kms were hardest I have done a bike.
State at finish: Buggered
Stunning morning on the coast - perfect sky with not a cloud to be seen. As we headed in land though the temperature started rising and peaked at 37. Now, I dont want to complain about the weather when its sunny, but 37 is a little on the uncomfortable side! Still was nice to have a good day as tomorrow afternoon we are due some rain. Happy today is done and will be interesting to see how I feel tomorrow morning.
