For anyone who's interested the Day 2 loop is about 26km and 1200m.. so after addiing the 30m from P9 I'm sure pooped. * sarcasm
That said it's the only trail of the bunch I've ridden, and I won't get a chance to pre-ride anything, so I'm looking at it from a lazy beer-drinking/racing-for-fun perspective moreso than trying to work to my strengths in my bid for a medal. It's hardly make-or-break for me
