Stage 2 (Monday)

Stage 2 was a 300m hill climb up Anzac Hill. I got to the start early. The first rider was due to take of at 3.30pm. I was there at about 3.15pm after riding there from the cabin I am staying in.

Because I was early I thought it was a great chance to ride the hill and get a feel for how steep it is and which gears I should use. I was about ½ way up the hill feeling terrible. I dropped it down a gear. As I headed towards the finish line, Sam, on the microphone noticed me. I obviously looked as I felt and he was nice enough to let everyone know.
Lucky for me my race ride up the hill went a lot better and I felt really good
