Survival Part 2.....
get to the finish, get over the climbs. That's all you have to do! Adam did a great job of just surviving today and doing anything he could for the team. Tons of time at sub threshold and threshold again today and not much time spent not pedaling. Hard to rest when you are going uphill!
A sub 58 minute time up the Tourmalet with normalized power of 378 watts. VERY impressive.Great climbing for a non-climber! On the Hautacam finishing climb, Adam averaged 349 watts normalized power for a 52 minute time up the climb. Notice the cadence that Adam climbs at when he is steadily climbing- around 80 rpm, which is relatively high, but a nice steady cadence.
Keep it going Adam!
