MTB race 2:45:00 [4] 40.0 mi (4:07 / mi) +5200ft 3:40 / mi
Albion Enduro on a rainy day. So glad I signed up or I would have been couch surfing with the rain. Family all went their own way. Logie came to Albion and then biked up to enjoy the rest of the weekend kid free since I get mine next weekend.
Forgot how hairy MTB racing can be, first 10 k water bottles flying off on down hills, wipe out etc. At 20 km we all settled in and the group I was with were so nice about passing. The skies opened up at 10 km so you knew the course was going to get worse. I thought I was being careful but a major wipeout at 30 km on a downhill and then another at 37 km. The second wipeout I fell into a tree and slammed my head. Thank goodness for helmets. My face hit also, now peeps in the hood are really going to wonder. Chain fell off 4 x (2 x in 1 km) then I decided not to change into my big ring. Just as well if you take note of total climbing not a bad idea to spin the legs.
Great course, I was pooped, could have eaten more but knew I was almost done. Came home right after and did not enjoy the beer.
