Peaks Challenge Training: Can I Break The INFAMOUS Sub-10?!

Tune into another episode, this week we're training for Peaks Challenge which is a brutal 235 km ride through Falls Creek. It's really closing in and there's about 5 weeks until the big day, so we set off on a 200km preparation ride targeting pacing ourselves to reach the infamous sub-10 hour mark.
Early in the day, I managed to set a new 8-minute power PB of 371 watts up Brooklyn climb - a decision that would come back to haunt me later in the ride. The conditions threw everything at us - mechanicals, many bellies full of gellies, and weather that tested our resolve. Despite the challenges and my legs feeling the early effort, we maintained the target pace needed for a sub-10 hour Peaks finish (minus the elevation needed on the day).
Whether you're training for Peaks Challenge yourself or just curious about what goes into preparing for such an ambitious or stupid goal, this raw and unfiltered look through my eyes shows the reality of what's required.
The journey to sub-10 isn't always pretty, but days like these definitely make us stronger. Join me as I break down the key moments from a memorable day in the saddle. And as some would say 'day for it?'
