Post the highway as one looks up at the climb from the foothill. The race is set pre-monsoon, hence the area has seen no rainfall for over 9 months, that makes the already daunting gradient look even more difficult. The scarce vegetation on the hill has no signs of green, the sun is slowly creeping up over the windmills at a distance and in that moment you instantly realize that there are going to be no pleasantries offered on the way up climbing this monster.

By now one has gone straight, gone up and scurried down, legs and the body find it hard to adjust to the change in terrains, sun is at it’s higher temperatures and the highway with almost barren lands on both the sides can be a lonely place to find yourself in, if you are lagging. It is however the last change in the course and the finishing line awaits.
