Lessons Learned
Post Mt.William Classic summary:
1. NEVER go to a point-to-point race without a support driver to pick you up at point B...
2. ALWAYS double check that your rear wheel is tightened up properly. Then check it again. And a third time to be sure...
3. IGNORE everyone you know before the start and concentrate on getting your own s#it together...
4. NEVER listen to your coach when he tells you something is "easy"... that translates into a hill so steep that grown men and women climb off their bikes and walk the last 1km...
5. Having a self-inflicted mechanical, losing your water bottle and chasing a bunch solo for 45kms before succumbing to cramp is not fun. Take it from me...
6. A fourteen hour day door to door for 60km of riding is not necessarily an efficient use of time...
FUN, ANYONE?
'nuff said.
