While it is a race and the finish line is the goal for everybody involved, the journey to the finish line is what makes the race special. For every racer it will be a combination of experiences (good or bad), the scenery, the wildlife, the weather, the months of preparation, the highs, the lows, which make the race a real journey of the body and the mind. While they have their crews and the support of people on the roadside, the racers will spend lots of time with just their own minds for company. Sometimes their minds can play tricks on them but sometimes it can bring them to a point of emotional euphoria. Everything that happens, everything they see, everything they do along the way will come together to make this a journey of a lifetime.
