Pyrenees Day 1<\/a> <\/p> \n\n\n\n

Well I know I wanted a challenging ride but OMG this is only day 1 and the easiest of the days and I’m knackered :-O. I achieved a new elevation record for doing the 7500 feet of climbing beating my previous record set in Jordan. But I’m going to have to come up with a new strategy as I came very close to running out of energy near the end of this ride. It’s time to go hard core on the calories but the irony is I only used around 3000 but I feel like I did twice that <\/span> Anyway we have 2 cat 1 climbs (HARD) tomorrow but thank god the distance is only 60 miles hopefully things will go a bit better cos it’s only getting harder each day <\/span> <\/p> \n\n\n\n
