As someone who doesn't follow sport or racing of any kind, this has kept me riveted. You've been completely awe-inspiring!
What kind of support do you need? (Sorry for the daft question)
hoefla-
Thanks that's kind!
Sponsors of bikes stuff really. Maybe getting to races money too.
Next year I go back to uni full time to study civil engineering so if I want to train properly and study I will struggle to work to earn enough money. I can fund myself and will, but it will mean sacrifices on training time to work, as studying won't get sacrificed this time.
I want to have a go at a 24h tt next year for experience, give hippy some competition and try a few mtb adventure races in experience for doing tour divide in future. If they go well then I'd like to try RAAM in a few years time if people believe in me. I believe in me now.

Thanks for all your support guys.
Nothing I would do different, just one of those things. I need to go see a sports physio and see why it happened. I did core work and part of that was neck strengthening exercises so it wasn't like j didn't prepare.
Some have said I pushed to hard, but that's what it's about. All in to win or nothing. The in between isn't worth it. Sometimes planets align, but when the stakes are as high as they are here it is rare they do.
You support is inspiring and great. Yeah I'll be back, I've seen what I can do and in honesty I was getting stronger and body feeling better but just neck. So I know I can win these races with a few more years I me, I'm only 24 and this was my first attempt!
Next year will be harder now, I need to find some support and without a win or top finish it will be harder to get, one of the reasons it took so much abuse and really totally impossibility to cycle before I stopped. So ill have to go away and assess what I can do.
But yeah, thanks and sorry I couldn't bring the goods. Nothing I could do different, just sometimes doesn't work out as you'd like.
