A few Dams, a bad start but worth the early morning wake up.
So I felt ok heading into the day, actually a bit excited as this week was the hill week. It started out ok I felt reasonable. Turning down Brookton Highway I thought the head wind was a bit of a killer.
I was starting to blow up, which was surprising as we were only 8 minutes in. I kept telling myself that I was just being weak due to the fact that I had put in some early morning and late nights during the week.
At about the 20 minute mark I practically exploded. In one of my why the hell am i doing so badly I looked down and saw an almost flat tyre. Bloody slow leak I jumped off and repaired it but the damage was done. Mentally and Physically I had given up. It didn't help that there was nothing but hills in front of me and I am probably the worst climber of our group.
Fortunately for me Rob is an excellent coach and pushed me over some sticking points and I managed to find some enjoyment and some speed. Crosing over Wungong Dam had a nice view. I have never been there before. It is quite spectacular.
Ended up being a worthwhile ride. As Steve says these are the km's that count. The ones you don't want to do.
