Kicked My ASS

Map of Race

There was a group that took off at the gun going way too fast for the 100 miles of single track that was ahead. I was ill prepared--I put so muck stress on the food & mechanical support that when it came down to actual mapping portion it did not work out well. When I did the Ragnork100 earlier this year we did not use a map at all, well that was on dirt roads & you could see for miles to verify you were on the correct road. In single track in the middle of the woods you could not see anything. I ended up putting in a extra 5(+) miles because I was with a fast group & decided to back off I was all by myself & I took a left instead of a right!!                                                                                                                      

After the 55 mile mark (bag drop) I rode with Michelle Flannagin-Haag & a couple of guys because I found out that riding with a local who actually knows the trail was important!!

Also the Garmin 305 has a history of the screen going blank because of the well documented battery issues--Not Good in a Non-Mapped event!!!
