Today was a 2 stage day. Started off with a 95km road race and in the afternoon we had a 7km individual time trial. The road race today was good. I felt better than yesterday and I was able to ride with the main group and even try a few moves. At on point the pack split up and I was in the wrong split. Happily in the descent i was able to catch up.
Afterwards in one of the longer climbs i got up on my handlebar and noticed my front tire was soft... oh no! another flat. John and Kevin got up the caravan very fast and did a perfect wheel change. I got up the hill just behind the main group and again I made back in the descent. 2 more climbs left! I got over one very well, I had a good rhythm and good concentration. The last climb of the day it was mayhem! And inevitably I got dropped towards the top. I race down the other side but with the rain that had fallen it was very sketchy going through all the switchbacks. I finished a few minutes back. At this point I will try and do good at a few stages but I can forget a spot in the general classification!
In the afternoon, there was a 7 km TT in the capital of Fort de France. There was huge crowds! And the TT was very short. 7km. I did just ok. Mid pack.
Then we had to wait for the bus for 1h before we could drive back to Trois-Ilets, where are hotel is. SHOWER AND SUPPER PLEASE!
I found those little tree frogs. I wonder if there the ones who scream all night.
Now good night ! More updates and photos tomorow
