That was super tough. No matter how much you reverse, you still have to get up 3000m ascend and the pumping wind made it even more tough.

 

My training hasn't been amazing so wasn't expecting fireworks. The last 15km was painful and don't think I've been more relieved seeing a finished line.

 

The heat was a non factor for me. The cumulative vert and the shots taken from the long descends makes this as hard a route on the calendar. 

The trails were amazing. Really really enjoyed the long descend after cliffhanger. Surprisingly grippy or it may just be my new rubber ☺️ 

 

Lessons for next year

Never skip conditioning in training. Days like yesterday is where it'll really count in your favour. My body took an absolute hammering out there.🥴

Probably should've done at least 1 ride over 2000m (although i planned a couple that never happened) 😏

Dont skuil the wind in training, riding around in windless constantia isn't always the most beneficial.

 

Kudos to finishers. That was fun yet brutal all together.
