I posted the same time as last year, given that this year it was 3.5km longer (to the organisers: how do you ALWAYS manage to publish the distance wrong??????????????????) I rode a harder gear (32x18 vs 32x19) than last year. I had a not so pleasant over-the-bars experience on the satellite descent, which is normally my strong suit (probably got cocky). I was lucky to escape with a few grazes and a sore hand. I thank the flat rock I landed on, as opposed to the thousands of sharp rocks all around. Well done to Eric and the Advendurance team for a great route and event organisation. All other Trailseeker races should be modeled on this one. Jou Bliksem brought rule #5 into play again. Let's face it, that section will always be nasty and never be nice or fun or fast or flowing or cool. All in all, another tough but rewarding edition of this race. Well done to all those that finished and condolences to those that didn't. Thanks for sharing the beers at the end, especially Mike, Sean, Karma and the Ignite boys.
