{"raceId":11123155871,"athleteId":2188545,"name":"The Final Push: Chasing Yellow, Sprinting Through Fatigue! Gore, on the podium for 3rd for the tour! Southland ⛅ Gore, Southland","description":"We hit the final stage with the yellow jersey on the line and, crikey, my legs were throwing a tantrum, feeling a bit rubbish if I’m honest. The drama kicked up a notch when a breakaway managed to sneak 33 seconds ahead. That cheeky move threatened to knock me down from 3rd to 4th overall. So, there we were, myself, young Daniel Grieve, and Brett—the man himself leading the tour—digging deep into our reserves. It was all hands on deck (or should I say, all feet in pedals) to reel that breakaway back in.\n\nDespite the heroics, it meant we were a bit knackered for the three climbs ahead. But as fate would have it, the day culminated in a wild sprint to the finish. There I was, second wheel, and cursing my luck for being in a dodgy position for the sprint. It was hectic, mates left and right, a proper scramble to the line. Ended up somewhere in the top 10, which, all things considered, wasn’t too shabby. Wasn’t going to nab the tour win, but safety first, eh?\n\nNow, with the nationals in two weeks, it’s all eyes on the next prize. Shoutout to Finella for smashing it and nabbing second in the women’s race, and to Michael Ferigo, the sprint king, for clinching second. Legend, that man.\n\nAs for now, it’s a 550 km trek back to Christchurch. Bit of a long haul after a day like today, but the stories and the scars are well worth it.\n\nWeather Report: Broken clouds, 14°C, and the wind was blowing 3km/h from SSW\n\n📈 aiendurance.com
