biking race 6:18:54 [3]
BCBR: I was able to ride the Earls Cove stage with Skidder and Simon - Skidder was concerned about pace and it appears we burned him out by aid station 1: he persevered to aid 2, but was pushing his bike up climbs etc and needed to rest, fuel and hydrate. We made it to aid 2, where he took the opportunity to lay down and hydrate, and I had a medic check him out....he put his game face on and got ready to ride the last bit out to the finish line....it took a while due to his 'bonkiness' but he didn't give up. By the time he got to the finish line, he was baked and straight to Brooks the lead medic who made the right call to send him off to the hospital. Two IV bags later, he was ready to party (Skidder, not Brooks ;-)
