(Nb: Disregard the Strava 'achievements' as they are not true. I had to add laps 2,3&4 by hand as phone battery ran out so performance data isn't up to date. Also, the time is inaccurate too. It took me much much longer!)
 |
| The calm before the storm. Nevis Range before the races. |
 |
| As always, the event attracted a large number of riders. |
 |
| A nice, fast, dusty section giving the legs a bit of a rest and releasing the adrenaline. |
 |
| My facial expression remained much the same throughout the race. Concentration and pain. |
 |
| Lots of opportunity to swing round into rooty descents. |
 |
| And a little fast roll before a tight bridge that left less than an inch either side of my bars! |
 |
| Probably about to be overtaken... again! |
 |
| Probably my favourite photograph and one of my favourite sections. Keep the speed and be ready for the quick climb over the bank and back to dry land. |
 |
| The speed is reflected in the grin! |
 |
| Boardwalk sections kept my concentration. A few moments saw me almost come off the edge due to daydreaming and fatigue towards the end! |
 |
| Jon said to style it out whenever I saw a photographer. This was all my body would allow me to do! I placed 62nd out of 93 which I felt was acceptable for a solo rider! See the results here |
