Took a gamble racing back to back Olympic distance races on 2 different continents in the hope of scoring some good points from a breakaway. Made the breakaway out of the water in 5th before travel caught up with me and the effort far outweighed the output

Winner out here in Hong Kong 🇭🇰 🏆 followed by a 90min train journey back to the hotel cause the transport left without me while I pee’d in a cup, naked while a little man watched, for doping control. Living the high life – at Yau Tsim Mong District, Hong Kong
