Day 9 – best day so far
Quick breaky, early start! Bit tired waking this morning, butt rash is slowly easing but getting blisters on my feet. Left at day break ready for our huge climb. Stuck together until dead horse gap! Today is the biggest day ever! Toughest too. I have had indigestion and upset tummy for 3 days now and I think it is the quick stops and not digesting food very well or maybe the amazing rick food I am not used to. I have to eat quite a bit to make it through the day.
Dead horse gap climb !! Wow wow I can’t believe the road keeps going up and up and up! It was steep and relentless. I decided to give it a crack! I started with peloton 2. It was tough riding and felt by all! Kept up with the guys and kept up for a while, pushed through the barriers and every time i hurt I just looked at the sticker on our bikes. Suck it up princess, kids don’t get to choose when they go for chemo. Everyone pushed through the pain barrier and where rewarded internally.
i too was also rewarded, 4th in peloton 2 and first female. The guys also think I have taken out the queen of the mountain too by 5min. Most amazing day ever! Great achievement and even better with my fundraising tally. God is great ! I am soooo blessed too.
I sat & had tea with the local people and had a great night. It was a fulfilling day throughout also helping as much as I can.
