Last Sunday (yesterday) took place
cyclosportive Magog
. Two route options, a 50 km and 100 km. It 's acting ' a nice loop of 50 km to go twice if we choose the route of 100 km. C 'was a new route this year.
L 'last year
, c 'was a journey of 90 km.

J 'I preferred the route of this year. We rode cities Orford, Eastman and other municipalities in the Eastern Townships. The new floor was several kilometers of the route and it 's acting always turn right, no risk of losing even ' s there were volunteers who indicated the road at intersections.

J 'were recorded at 100 km and I am very satisfied with my performance. D 'first record because the first 50km, my time m ' have earned the medal money if I 've opted for the route of 50 km. Second because I 've traveled the 50 km second single face of strong winds in places and that I ' ve kept in good spirits nonetheless. In my head I told myself: you are here, so roll to roll! My average speed for the length of 100 km was 26.7 km / h. A good average for me on a hilly course like this. My final time: 3:46.

When I 've crossed the line ' s arrival, my legs n 'could in addition. The course ends with a climb of several hundred meters. Phew. When I 've put my chip in the organizer, it ' m asked how I 'and I went n ' t have to respond. J 'was totally slammed, my legs were shaking and I Had severe nausea. I got to the car where my love m has received – he was surprised to see me so early arrival and disappointed 's have missed my arrival! – J ' was still unable to speak and I just wanted to m extend somewhere, but it 's there was no grass around, I'm lying on the bench of the car, I ' m drunk and I 've eaten a sandwich and then I woke up somewhat. Have any experience again this year.

The price 's entry, we had lunch ' s included. While I was changing my lover picked up our lunch box. I returned to the table and it 'm said: close your eyes. It 'm spent a medal around his neck, I ' ve finished third among women in the 100 km! Instantly, the pain in my legs disappeared, I got to see the ranking and my name was well 3rd place, but my time is registered.

The next day when I logged onto the site FQSC, I 've seen that in the end I don ' t no … Bouhouhou third, really, the organizers could have waited for having ALL the time to get back medal! So Today 'hui, there is a girl who seeks his third medal of the place and it ' s me who 's have at home …

J 'il had my heyday, I walked all night with my medal in the shot and it ' m a good smile anyway. L 'important haven ' t you to participate and push our own limits even further? It 's what I ' ve done yesterday and for that reason, I am proud of myself. Even more enjoyable to share these moments with my boyfriend who also made the 100 km!
