Good ride today: I am really struggling with a few parts of clinical, getting better at others (including the nasty pinch climb right at the end), and enjoying many parts of it even more.
I had a close call with one of the very steep gullies, but the lesson for me is you have to be remain confident and keep looking ahead.
I am hopeful I am as well prepared as I can be, and my vibe today is that I am more excited than scared of the upcoming challenge. w00t!
