Reflecting on whats ahead of me...

Spent the morning, a) worrying my winter training has been a little broken up and b) looking at the marmotte climbs against the last years etape. Now its half of one and however the rest of that expression finishes, stage 11 was either up or down with only a very short "flat" section of about 2km. Now while that middle section of the marmotte looks a bonus the telegraph & galibier kick up pretty hard with sections of 13-14%. and those 21 hairpins of alp d'huez are going to hurt. why do i keep doing this to myself.
