absolutely shattered after today. 29km loop of fast, whooped out sand tracks & some clay/gravel sections all with flowing berms(courtesy of 250 bikes & quads). weather held out but a bit more rain in the lead up would have been good as dust was a bit average. sand dries out quick though. once race was underway & everyone spaced out on the track it wasn't too bad though.
did a sighting lap(whats with the wankers that wanna 'win' the sighting lap?! its called a sighting lap for a reason just cruise single file ya dicks
) & some bloke managed to hit a sweep/marshall & break his arm(his not the sweeps)!
another bloke with 'fkn dickhead' written on back of his jersey(I shit you not!) came screaming around me then coupla hundred meters later I went past him lying on the floor tangled up with an older fella on an Italian husky 4T. he got back up & again came screaming around me again a km later
. serious wanker. living up to his namesake I guess! I spoke to the husky fella later & he told me he just flat out rear ended him & punted him into a tree. he was gobsmacked why hed ride like that-dangerous when ya not expecting ie during the race & even then it was a fundraiser event! I woulda made sure he couldn't start the race if he did that to me!
anyway managed 6 laps in total for race over 4 hours(ironman no partner) plus one sighting lap so 203km all up for the day!
no get offs at all, coupla close calls as I was getting tired toward the end but bars didn't touch the ground so pretty happy with that. fuelled up after second lap, which was a bit of an excuse for a drink as didn't wear a camelback, but bike only took 5-6 litres so did 3 laps before next refuel then one final lap. only stopped for quick drink & refuel so 2 mins max each stop. coulda got away with one refuel as 3 laps didn't even hit reserve! a fair bit of deep sand & some long straights so a lot of WFO. pretty happy with my efforts as didn't do much training & still a few kg overweight(ideal weight
). they had a problem with ironman timing so not sure what I finished but will find out in the next few days/week. hopefully top 5-10 outta 40 starters. if the winner did anymore than 7 laps I will probably cry as I was fairly well spent after 6(was kind of relieved when they waved us in at final checkpoint) & rode at a fair pace all day.
125 loved every minute of it!
poor little thing had its ring hanging out all day but didn't miss a beat(a few shifts though
from my end)
