Riders keep melting away in the climbs and crosswinds. All four of our guys stayed in the first chase group in the stage, finishing 20, 21, 22, 23 on the day. One of the race favorites blogged about not doing well because of lactic acid build up . . . well, that's what happens. He went backwards on the climb and fell down to forty-something overall.
Te Anau is a lovely little backpacker outpost. I took a run along the shore of the lake after the stage was done to stretch the legs out. I seem to be healing up quickly, but my shoulders are still really sore post crash.
Tomorrow is the last day of racing with two stages taking us back to Invercargill for the finish. More to follow . . .
