Overheated…

At the hotel now. Todays race was a disaster. I have huge problems when it´s warmer temperatures and my body overheated so bad I even thought about walking up the climbs first laps… I got a bad start unclipping my foot and it got worse when I tried to push myself up from about place 60 in the first climb.

I have had problems all my life when it´s hot and I feel like I´m standing still when pushing. I guess I have to try out all things I can to improve that. When I started to cool myself with water each feedzone it got better but then the race was already over and I ended the race in a weak 44th place.

Recovery and try to get it going again is what´s up for next week.

Big congrats to Rabobank-Giant team mate Fabian Giger for his 4th place today. Also a great race from Henk Jaap Moorlag who finished 2nd in the U23 yesterday.

Back to work…
