Today I had mixed feelings about my overall riding experience. Even though I bettered my time from last year with an improvement of 24mins, I know I should've done a lot better. At certain points I was flying, and at others times I felt like I was just taking in the scenery as cyclists sped past me.
My preparation this time round was not the best
Still, being a part of it and knowing the proceeds are going to a great cause, makes it all worth while. I now have a goal to work towards for next years race -

Those 2 hill climbs right at the start are killer climbs, you really are not ready for them and it's a bit of a shock to people new to this category. Hatepe Hill is the hill most talked about, being the last significant hill climb on this course. The Quarter starts pretty close to the bottom of this.
There are times I just want to pull over, drop the bike and dive into that lake. Especially today with 26C temperature zapping away our strength.
Crossing the finish line makes me feel that another goal has been reached and it's time to plan for the next.
