After a break after the Giro(part of it at least), I’m getting back to racing again with Philly and now Tour De Beauce. After Philly got a spend a week out in Northern California with my girlfriend in her small hometown of Etna. It was awesome with some great mountains all around. Did some good training and some good relaxing as well. There was still snow on the ground up in the mountains!
I was pretty wrecked after Philly so it took me a few days to be able to do any real training. And now in Canada where the stages are relatively early, which means early wake ups everyday(around 6am). I hate waking up so early so it’s definitely making the race even harder. It’s been good though, despite losing time the first day when I should have been at the front for the sprint. I was in the break all day yesterday and that cost me some energy today. I made it to the base of the final hillclimb with the group but then just rode up my own pace. Tomorrow is the TT and then two more days of circuits. I get to head back to Athens for a bit after this so I am pretty stoked about that. Hopefully I can make something happen here this weekend. Wish me luck.
