Cape Epic!

Cape Epic has come to and end and I am happy about the feeling. Me and my partner Fabian Giger had a OK ride. We both had our ups and downs during the 8 days.

I had a bad stomach for the first 3 days. I was still pedalling quite ok, but I was suffering from not eating enough. I got better and had really good legs the last 4 days.

We managed to be on the podium twice and got a 3rd place at the first stage and a 2nd at the last day. My legs were on fire the last day and that 2nd place came despite a broken chain for Fabian after about 3kms. I am riding smooth and feeling good at my bike. I didn´t have any punctures or so during all the + 700kms. Nice feeling!

We ended on a 11th in the overall, despite a time penalty of 1 hour when Fabian got a flat tire and I passed a checkpoint where you couldn´t be more than 2min apart. A mistake that can happened when the racing is on, but it costed a lot…

Now I am on my way home to Sweden for a few weeks before the real deal starts. I am really looking forward to spend time with my family and don´t think to much about pedalling for a while.

Take care/ Emil
