Well done Maarten!! Nice to see you guys showing up the semi-pros!
Our team managed to come in at 6:05, I think we grabbed 5th place, although I lost them on the last climb and finished 15mins after them.
Nice and hot, wasn't it?! Nothing quite like 200kms in 35 degree heat!![]()

An interesting question arises. I feel like utter **** for having to abandon, and it took my team captain about 5 minutes of telling me I was going to die if I went on before I would get in the backup van. How do I combat the feeling of having let the team down? I actually don't feel like doing any of the league races for the rest of the month, much less like getting back on a bike. I watched my team come in together, and I was really happy for them, yet I can't help feeling I should've been there....
Any advice...do I just write this one down as a 'bad day'? Comment welcome...!
One trick is to imagine it was someone else. Would you blame that third person? Of course not! So why be harder on yourself than you would be on someone else?Originally posted by Fooz
