The Wall

(no, not another brick ...)

Ouch. I think they are still scraping my body bits off the wall.

Managed to do 4 laps yesterday but I think I already hit the wall in the 2nd lap. The short pinches were painful after the first lap. I was also cramping on all the laps bar the first one (probably 3 times in each lap). And I had cramps in the same spot on each lap (I think the spot was after some pinch climbs). I didn't have such problems at Penrose or Dirtworks last year.

Apart from that, Ourimbah was a fun course. I haven't riden so much singletrack since Penrose.

Food consumption for the day
- 3x energy gels
- 1.5 - 2 litres of water
- 2x 750ml Gatorade
- pasta for lunch
- chips

There is only so much sugar one can take during the day before getting sick of the sweetness. Surely there is a market for energy gels that taste like laksa, vindaloo or HP sauce?
