I cant find results either.... My suggestion for next year would be a slight increase in climbing and less sand. Oohh and lube at the waterpoints!!! My bike creaked like a mtf after all the sand and dust :)

Maybe we need to look beyond the distance and elevation as to what makes a race tough vs easy. The route had a bit of everything - rocks, sand, climbs, singletrack, open road and technical and I found the level of "toughness" for the distance perfect. That singletrack will be sweet once it has compacted and been ridden in a bit :-)

I didn't find it tough! My problem was the amount of sand and it seems quite a bit of the time we were just going up and down and in circles to make up distance. But that is just me.

Agree that the route was possibly a bit contrived to make up distance. Loved the wine and socks story, good idea.

loved the race, it was proper hard but good. I prepared myself for more climbing. Waterpoints was placed a bit weird, the first one was too early, second one I didnt see, third one was good. last bit of singletrack with the switchbacks werent designed nicely, they are off camber and loose sand. overall very enjoyable (oh, they didnt have enough beer at the bar)
