The hardest day, but harder

When I planned this trip, I was a little nervous about heading from Prague into Austria. I knew the mileage was ambitious, and that the days would be long and challenging.

As apprehensive as I was, I still WAY underestimated how difficult it would be. After the first day, I thought, "wow, that was one of the hardest days I've ever had on a bike."

The hills of Bohemia are endless. And they are not "rolling" hills. They are the kind of hills where you are nearly vertical both ways. I often had to walk my bike going down after spending a very long time getting up one. So that was yesterday. It was rough.

Today was harder than yesterday. By a lot.

I climbed mountains ALL DAY. I was literally climbing between 2-3mph for HOURS. And then I got a terrifying downhill. AND THEN I HAD TO CLIMB ANOTHER MOUNTAIN.

Also, it was raining.
And I have a cold.
It got dark.
I kept going.
I kept going until I could not go anymore, and I still did not make it to Austria.

People. I cannot even believe today was real.

I ended up in a hotel because my tent and I were soaking wet
