{"raceId":12234580652,"athleteId":2188545,"name":"Timaru two day tour ~ Stage 5 Survival: Queen Stage Climbs and Freezing Rain Finale! Timaru, Canterbury 🌧","description":"The final stage of the Timaru Two Day Tour—Stage 5, the Queen Stage, and boy, did it live up to its name! Four long climbs on an out-and-back route, ready to test the legs and spirit one last time. This was the stage that would define the race, and I was ready to leave it all out on the road.\r\n\r\nWe launched straight into the first climb, and I managed to stick with the group for most of it. But as we neared the top, I just lost contact. Not by much, but enough to have to dig deep and burn a match I hadn’t planned on using so early. Managed to chase back on, but I could already feel the effort in my legs.\r\n\r\nAt the turnaround, the weather decided to join the party. The temperature plummeted to a brisk 4°C, and the rain started to come down. Lovely. Heading back into a headwind up the next climb, my legs were screaming. I just couldn’t keep pace with all those young, fit, and strong riders in the group. My energy was fading fast, but I put my head down and rode solidly, grinding my way up the climb.\r\n\r\nBy the time I reached the bottom of the next hill, I could see the group already halfway up, slowly disappearing into the mist and rain. At this point, it was just me and another rider who had also been dropped. We teamed up, pushing each other through the final kilometers of the tour. We both knew we weren’t catching anyone, but we kept the tempo up, finding some strength in camaraderie.\r\n\r\nAs we approached the finish, we decided to make the most of it and had a cheeky sprint between ourselves. Not exactly the finish line sprint I had imagined, but a good way to wrap up the tour nonetheless. It wasn’t my best performance, but despite the challenges, there were moments of pure enjoyment—feeling strong in parts, and most importantly, being out there with a bunch of amazing people who love to compete, ride hard, and live life to the fullest.\r\n\r\nWeather Report: Light rain, 9°C, and the wind was blowing 21km/h from SE\r\n\r\n📈 summary:\r\nExternal stress score:
