Dadbod Racing Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 Don't feel like suffering this weekend again, Xterra was tough enough.... I'll save my pennies for the Blue Lagoon Tri.
dannygirl Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 is there a way to get a late entry? from email just received from PPA:

DieSwartGevaar Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 Also my first one, starting in CL... How busy does the trails get once the 60km joins up with the 40km?

JohanDiv Posted February 27, 2019 Author Posted February 27, 2019 Also my first one, starting in CL... How busy does the trails get once the 60km joins up with the 40km? I did the 40km last year with an average seeding(Think it was third group of 40km riders) and I was constantly held up by other people on the singletracks. People getting off and pushing up the first 10m technical section 5km into the race holding up everyone. I decided I'm just going to enjoy it istead of getting frustrated.. My tactic was to push flatout from the go and sit and rest behind people on the singletrack where it is impossible to overtake. No need to get angry or frustrated. Ended up doing 2h40min. I'm sure I could have sliced another 15-20min off my time if the singletracks weren't so crowded. Hoping the 60km route this year has less of that kind of thing happening. But considering it might happen again, I'm just aiming for sub 4hours and enjoying the ride. Where the 40km and 60km join most of the singletracks are done and it gets more open for overtaking, don't think that will be an issue.
