This was my first DW 50K, in fact my first time I've ever ridden 50K!

I had an awesome race. My goal was to get in under four hours, but I ended up doing 2:25:20! 29th in the Veteran class and 90th overall.

I was a bit dusty from a wedding the night before and I stupidly put my gels in my backpack - I didn't want to stop to get them out so I kept on pushing. Did the whole race on Gatorade alone.

I was shattered last night. Don't think I've ever been so exhausted.
