Long Razorback Hotham to Feathertop then the others did back but I opted to head down to Harrietville and do the same length but no more climb as I was really really struggling to breathe! Legs and body felt ok but I could control my breathing at all - guess it was a combination of fatigue and altitude but I was a little frustrated as everyone else seemed to be doing fine and I’ve trained and climbed much higher than this before! A nice couple gave me a puff of ventolin on feathertop but I think by this point I was so far in oxygen dept it help momentarily to control my breathing but didn’t do a lot to get me through the next 11km haha! Only took one tumble down though which felt like a success! Then rolled into the river in Harrietville! Felt a bit down on my performance and some things that were said after but it was a gorgeous day out in a stunning place so life really is not all that bad at all :)
