EB Industries Posted January 5, 2020 Share Doing my 4th one this year, start relaxed and start to race after the Spur water point, this is where the race begins. Many people and my stupid self has raced from the gun and then after water point 2 you start to feel those dogs biting. Pack a good electrolyte fuel in your bottle and use the water points, they are well stocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
