M N T N S – A group debut

Smashy

Out of the sickness and into the Mountains

MNTNS

My first Dirty Warrny and longest ever ride was quite something to remember. Positioned myself well early on but was dropped by the front group at about the 40km mark. Found a great bunch of lads to roll with (shout to Tom) for the next 100kms or so. 

Then a rather large rock flew into my mouth making me vom everywhere (sorry) and I also was having trouble with my nutrition. I stopped at the final aid station with a little over 50kms to go and the group rode away and I wasn’t able to get back on. 

I then began the 50km solo journey to the finish line counting every km and cursing every hill. Many emotions were felt but I was super stoked to eventually cross the line in a time of 8hrs 49mins. Finished 4th in age group and 29th overall. 

Great event. I’ll be back next year to do better.
