Enjoying a post race cold one, thanks Ben! |
Single Speed Class, 8 laps in 5:36:23, 8.28 mph, 46.4 miles.
Bike: Soul Cycles Hooligan (26" SS), 32:18 gears, IRC Mythos XC II tires.
My first ever 6hr race. Decided to race SS on my fairly new Soul Cycles Hooligan. Before this race, I had not driven a car 6 hrs, and my longest training ride was 4 hrs. So I brought some Gatorade and some Payday bars and off I went. After 3 laps I started to suffer. I stopped for a short time every lap after three to stretch, eat, and drink. Started Cramping after 4 laps. Luckily Chris Danz from Performance saw I was suffering and gave me a Cliff Bar; it helped. Never imagined I would come in 3rd. Sweet!
