Je krijgt hiermee een inkijkje in het prachtige, maar minstens zo uitdagende project wat ik in mijn hoofd gehaald heb. Ik begin aan de zwaarste sportieve uitdaging die ik ooit bedacht of geprobeerd heb. Of het niet té uitdagend is en hoe ik me gedurende de Tour zal voelen, vind ik nog een beetje spannend. Maar alleen al door de energie die ik er van heb gekregen sinds ik besloten heb deze uitdaging aan te gaan, is het nu al mijn beste beslissing van het jaar. Dat dit Tourboek bestaat, is daar het gevolg van. De voorpret die ik inmiddels heb gehad bij het opstellen hiervan is zo groot, dat dit alleen al zeer de moeite waard geweest zou zijn als ik nu geen enkele etappe zou starten. Waar ik vroeger schriftjes en plakboeken bijhield van de Tour de France op TV, kon ik nu een Tourboek maken over mijn eigen Ronde van Frankrijk: twee hobby’s komen hier samen. LIGHTNING ENDURANCE Als disclaimer vermeld ik graag ten eerste dat ik geen enkele pretentie heb een SPORTS NUTRITION unieke prestatie te leveren mocht dit project slagen. Er zijn mij al vele amateurs voor gegaan die een soortgelijke uitdaging hebben voltooid. Of ik het sneller of langzamer, in meer of minder etappes of met meer of minder begeleiding doe weet ik niet en vind ik ook niet interessant.
