0:00.0	Welcome back. We're here with trainer as Jonathan Lee after stage five of single track six,
0:04.0	longest stage today. How'd it go, John?
0:07.1	It was good. It was longest and it didn't have the most climbing, but I think it's going
0:11.5	to catch a lot and it did catch a lot of folks by surprise. I kind of had this. I wasn't
0:16.8	even thinking about this stage. And then once I started to analyze the profile, I was like,
0:19.9	oh, it's actually going to be quite hard. And yesterday, when you and I spoke, I was like,
0:23.7	I'm just going to go hard and that's going to be my strategy. But there was a really hard
0:27.2	climb at the end. So I was a bit nervous about the go hard strategy, but you know, through caution
0:33.9	to the wind and did go hard in the beginning. It was like three loops and it was about 28 miles
0:40.2	and climbed like 4,100 feet, I think. And I own the Bragg Creek area. And the first loop was like

1:10.8	turns and the easy to blow off the course and lots of roots and lots of rocks and everything
1:15.1	else. You had to stay on your toes. But this again, stature is the my best looking objectively
1:20.5	like my performance. And I haven't uploaded my ride file yet. But it was the best one. I started off
1:26.5	like the first 15 minutes, maybe close to 20 minutes at 318, NP, which is higher than anything I've
1:33.5	done so far in the race. So I'm satisfied with that with stage five, you know, being deeper into
1:38.0	the race. And then, but it definitely was, you know, that put me in a bit of a hole, but at the same
1:45.2	time, I still managed it well throughout the race. And I think it was the best stage yet. And in
1:48.6	terms of placement, it was to I finished eighth on the stage. So still ninth in GC. And I don't
