WaldoZ Posted April 29, 2019 Share I did the 8 hour MTB challenge yesterday in prep for this event. Man I am glad I did as it reminded me what happens when you start too fast That is one of my biggest weaknesses... starting too fast... So I am at a cross roads:1. Race it, start fast and be first at CP12. Start slow and finish strong The temptation of being CP1 Champion is just soooo attractive though TrailWarrior, Underachiever, Bat and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WaldoZ Posted April 29, 2019 Share Do what you did last year, all worked out OK. It did, but I kind of felt I was over cautious. Started too slow and finished "too strong" (if there is such a thing). But yes that recipe I know works, so should probably stick to it. GAP, hboli4 and TrailWarrior 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
