Really enjoyed 50 kays of the fling....but the last 8 0dd kays woah mama that hurt. Decided that limited training I would try and pace myself and that went well. But I think 50k races are my limit. Made it thru the roller-coaster and up Broke back mountain but I lost all drive in Bakers delight (about 50K) after I hit a rock un-clipped and put my leg down in an awkward position for a whoppa of a quad cramp. After a few mins got going again but was destroyed...Great Sandy desert and the rest zapped me and come over the line with nothing left.

After the cramp infested Fling - I decided to get fitter and better prepared. Race briefing said the waterbars were nasty - check.

My first time trying a race saw me enter the half fling. My plan was to average 20kp/h and finnish in under 3hrs.
