It was exciting to see who is wearing what on the start line of the first national race of the season. It was my first proper marathon ever and the start was rather easy compared to the shorter xco or even half-marathons i am used to.
Things changed once we hit the bottom of the climb. I knew it was going to be hard, so I stuck to a comfortable rhythm. After about 1h10min of pure climbing my rhythm wasn't so comfortable any more, rookie error!
It took me a while to get the legs working properly again and just as things started looking better with 20kilos to go....
Well the photo speaks for it self
I used an empty USN Vooma gel to keep the tube inside the tyre. still had to ride it pretty soft which made the river crossings very interesting.
Glad I managed to finish the race!
