It’s a long straight road here but I am expecting nothing less than a tough day. From what everyone says, this might be the only flat course out there that is tougher than a hilly course. Lots of wind, heat and humidity combine to make a grinding course where there is no real place to relax. And from that description, I am assuming this course is a mentally tough course.
Keeping focused while pushing through never ending straight roads will be a deciding factor in success. I have learned to enjoy the mental challenge just as much as the physical challenge and I am looking forward to both! Stay tuned, more to come
