13th August - Brighton Big Dog
20th August - Grand Raid: Verbier Switzerland
28th August - British National Marathon Championships: Llandovery Wales
It was an early and slightly eerie 7am start in the drizzle and mist. After two more punctures in the opening miles I continue to worry about my tyre choice for the upcoming races, especially the rear tyre. More concerning, I hit the wall following our coffee stop 4 hours in. Key lesson learnt - don't eat a large slice of cake and a banana in the middle of a ride!
Ride stats:
- 5 hours 20 minutes
- 58.5 miles
- 1400m vertical ascent
