{"raceId":16529743526,"athleteId":2188545,"name":"Headaches, Heart Rates \u0026 Hanging On: Day 2 Served Hot ‘n’ Humid!🔥 Hanmer Springs, Canterbury ⛅","description":"Five Passes Tour – Day 2: Lewis Lift-offs \u0026 Tactical TTs\n\nWoke up with a noggin that felt like it’d been through a criterium in crosswinds — throbbing headache, dehydrated, and still baking from yesterday’s 34°C sufferfest. Lucky Glen had some Panadol — absolute legend. Got myself semi-sorted and rolled out of Hanmer for the 8am neutral start, still feeling a bit secondhand. Not ideal.\n\nThe first 20km was cruisy… then it was game on. We launched into the morning race — the classic valley drag into Lewis Pass. Legs didn’t feel too bad, but the heart rate was stuck in diesel mode. No top-end. I knew early I wasn’t going to be dancing on any pedals today. But hey, you play the hand you’re dealt.\n\nFirst proper climb and boom, spat out the back quicker than a dropped bidon. No dramas — sat up, regrouped with the GC legends in Group Peta (shoutout to the glue crew), and rode steady to the top of the KOM. Scenery up Lewis was mint — proper postcard descent off the top. Winding, fast, and grinning like a loon the whole way down.\n\nMorning tea stop – refuelled like a hobbit at second breakfast. Then onto stage two, which kicked off straight up another climb (because of course it did). It was about 7km long and the pace was on from the gun. Climbed alright – started near the front, slid back to mid-pack, then back in with the Peta Posse for a mad, mad descent. Honestly, it was a bullet-train run for what felt like 30km — loved every second. Didn’t make sense to go full-send; tomorrow’s another big day.\n\nLunchtime hit just right. Warm sun, great kai, and a chance to reset. Then onto the final leg of the day — a 12km team time trial after a chilled neutral zone. This time, we were actually organised. Start order sorted, legs semi-recovered, and spirits high. We thought we were leading C1… but somehow ended up seeded with the B graders (classic). No worries — we rolled it solid and steady, just enough to look sharp without cooking ourselves.\n\nTeam’s looking hot: Alan’s cleaning up! Won the sprint and KOM in the morning, and another KOM in the arvo. Might even be in yellow now — we’ll see when the dust settles.\n\nNow in Greymouth, showered, horizontal, and ready for an early night. Tomorrow’s another mountain to climb.\n\n\n😨 Overtraining warning\n🐶 Free Training (moderate intensity)\n🚵 Randonneuring\n🧀 Fat 46.3%, 🍞 Carb 53.7%\n🕯️ Matches 39\n🔋 Maximum discharge 96.7%\n\n\n---
