To give everyone an impression what I'm up to here's the raw data:
Stage 2 - 63miles in pouring rain, 27mph avg, 3rd place, HR avg 147.
Stage 4 - 85miles (30 of that uphill), 5400ft climbing, 4200kcal, 48mph max, 1 flat, 1 trashed rim, 1 lousy wheel change.
Stage 5 - 72miles, 28.8mph avg, 30.2mph in the 1st hour, HR avg 153, 2700kcal.
Stage 6 - 87miles, 28.4mph avg, 30mph in 1st hour, # attacks 30, # counter attacks 29, one 5k to go attack, 0 success.
Stage 7 - 1hour crit, in 30min breakaway w/ yellow jersey(!), 3 sprint points, 2 bonus sec, more rain & pain, 28.7mph avg for winning break, sat up, 10min. Gap, dropped from 23rd 42nd overall. Overall: 27mph avg speed for entire tour (550 miles)
Those are some crazy stats! Hopefully you are able to eat enough there and got a little bit of rest. We are all iced in here in WF...

Enjoy the chill location. It reads like you need some rest, calories, beer and some an opportunity to dry out. Nice effort. Thailand should be great... and the fooood. Ted
