how’d you go?
Done and run, ~9’15 on the bike and something liek 9’50 elapsed time. Slower than the last two attempts but training…
Buffalo was the killer, heat, ashphalt popping like bubble wrap, very pleased to get to waterland.
Worst bit: No icepoles on Buffalo
Best bit: the Marshall who asked me if I was heading up Buffalo at 5pm (fortunately I was done and heading back to my accom and a beer and a swim)
Last week, week ending 29 January
9 Rides - 423 kms
Longest ride 216km - Alpine Classic plus back and forth to accomodation.
Now to do some running, 45km run in 6 weeks but thread belonds on another forum.
well done on finishing again.
road or trail run?
Trail run, 6ft track, have something to prove after last years dismal run…
