IV. The Falling Action.
The final kilometers to the finish are the most emotional and beautiful of the route, even though your body will be screaming at you to stop right there. Your legs are burning. Your hands are numb. You’re ready to get off the saddle. But you love yourself too much. You feel shit, but the greatness overrides this. You want to start crying. You’ve made it this far! You imagine all the things you will eat in a few minutes. You hear the spectators pushing you to the finish line, making you squeeze the last power out of your calfs. Finish line where are you?! You look out for your friends, time for beer and pasta.
