So Now that you've had a few days to digest your trip/race how would you describe the experience. Do you regret not being able to finish.. Was a 100 or so miles all you really wanted to endure.
I can't imagine 22 hrs on a bike in those conditions never mind what it would have taken to finish. I guess no one stops to take a break in this race. That means 40 plus hrs for most of the participants..Makes me wonder. Are they are waiting for someone to actually die ? I could see someone loosing their wits in that scenario very easily.
You where lucky you came upon bailout route in the best time..I think once you got to the top of that trail you would have been in it for the longhaul no matter what,
