05b TCR06 – Visual Race Report – 2. Timeline Overview

Below you can scroll through a timeline of my race: it matches my stages in relation with the 24h-calendar-days. It provides information about:

When each stage started and stopped
Where each stop was and for how long I was stationary (does not mean I slept that long. Usually just a fraction of it due to faffing around).
How long each stage was in terms of time, distance and climbing
Where I rode into or through the night
The ratio of moving time vs. stopped time during a stage which indicates the efficiency of that stage. I realized the numbers here might not be very accurate; e.g. on the first stage I certainly stopped longer. But it gives an indication. I might look into this again and update it.

What you will see is, e.g. that

I did lots of riding until late at night or through the night (first and last two nights)
I had a couple of very weak days: with short stage distance and a lot of relative stopping time. I was simply very exhausted.
there was one long final stretch after Bjelasnica (last 830km) where I just wanted to finish the race (to 1 see my family at the finish line, to escape Albania and my condition, to overtake a few riders and have a shorter finish time). There were a couple of short semi-naps involved, but no real sleeping. See the map for details.
