The Munga - The Toughest Race On Earth

Sadly it appears that I wont be following this to the end. Tomorrow I will ride in the Bush and take time to reflect on what the sad passing of BDF means to me and my priorities in life. I will also have a beer or two celebrating all these machines and how they put my minor bit of HTFU for next years' Nove Colli race in perspective.  

 

Chapeau

Just a thought regarding HTFU in perspective. Firstly these Munga athletes are incredible, and what they achieve is just incomprehensible to most of us dot watchers. However they are all highly trained for this and have the underlying physiology to be able to put in the hours of training and face the event itself. For some , their physiology limit may be a 100 k ride , or a Sani , or a marathon or ultra somewhere, and completing that may require as much HTFU as they can muster.

So as much as we are in awe of these dots, we must realize that these are world class endurance athletes in their own right just to finish this thing.

Sorry people . . . I was not up to date with the name abbreviations. 

Sincere apology to Talus and all.
