I was feeling really good during the ride so I tried to push myself. I was using Pete as a reference, I knew he kicks a.. so I challenged myself to test how far I could keep his pace. He lost me on Wildcat but it was the fastest pace I had ever climbed and I felt better and better as the ride progressed.
I just didn't realized I needed more fuel than usual.
