My mistake on PBP 2019 was staying in the Mercure overlooking the drunks in the courtyard, I could not sleep with all the noise into the night days leading into the start. But my biggest mistake was eating some bad rabbit; if anyone wants to know the location of all the porta potties all the way to Brest, I know them. My other mistake was trying to work my way thru slower packs of riders ahead of me. I should have just sat in and relaxed at the slowish pace. I also did not program the address of my Brest hotel into my Garmin and wasted over an hour looking for it, finally sleeping Monday night at the control. I planned to ride pretty quick to Brest and sleep 8-9 hours and then ride back like a tourist. My BB bearing failed and with a lose crankset, I could not shift off the big ring. Fortunately, I took the 56T off and put a 53T before flying to France.. A total cluster. I did finish eventually. Live and learn.
