Tour of Poland, Stage 5
I wish I could give you a full recap of the stage today, but I really couldn’t see what was going on. It was raining so hard that it was nearly impossible to see the wheel in front of me! We finally got a taste of the Polish rain that I have heard so much about.
The best thing about today was the stage was almost 100 kilometers shorter than the past three days so it flew by. The race was much more active and a lot harder than any other day so far. The hills today were steep, but very short and the stage was suited more for a one day classics rider. The outcome would echo that same thing with Allessandro Ballan winning the stage.
My day was not so great. I might be still paying for the efforts earlier in the week. Afterall, it is fairly difficult to recover when riding 250 kilometer days. The weather may have played a part in that as well, as I felt as if I was riding in a river upstream all day. I will spend the rest of the night picking gravel out of my eyes and hope for a better day tomorrow.
