DNF for the bonk? You should've crawled home you lazy git! :P
I started maybe a bit quick, spent the middle two hours in a finely balanced fight between keeping club record pace, stopping my leg going numb and overusing my glutes until they ping. I had so much left in the tank I rode the last 5mi like it was a 10. Probably a good couple of minutes to take off if I can sort my leg out but I'll probably not ride another 100 this year.
My leg is still numb now which makes me think it might be nerve-related and not vascular after all. Might tell my physio this wonderful news and see what they say.
10min off my PB and club record so even with the 2L of snot I ejected in the first lap I did what I wanted to do. Pretty happy with it, considering.
