As a sort of lesson from today’s race I reminded myself the most important thing in doing the uphills is to win them mentally over. Next up is Bay to Breakers, which has one significant climb. I’m planning to face the uphill Marco Pantani style so there won’t be any speculation afterwards.
Marco, perché vai così forte in salita?
