Day one - a rude awakening

Well, what can you say about a day like today? You do 142kph and come last. Doesn’t happen that often back home. I had a slight problem in that I had no oxygen today. I saw a lot of guys up high, must have been close to 5000 metres. No way could I go that high. In fact I had to leave a couple of really good climbs because it wouldn’t have been too smart to go much higher. But the main problem is that these guys are really really good. Oh well, I will have to improve. But first, second or last it was a heck of a lot of fun today belting around in the mountains in those sort of conditions. Start over tomorrow.
