So the National 400 was awesome. Top notch organisation and a profusion of TLC and food at every control. As one of the participants put it, it was "an eating event with a bit of cycling thrown in.", and that's without mentioning the seriously beautiful route. I also found that body and bike were ticking along nicely for most of it, except for a painful chaffing on the inside of the left thigh from 250km onwards. It was becoming borderline show-stopper around the penultimate control (km 306) and another rider kindly lended me a tube of chamois cream.
All in all, still not sure about a 600 this year, even though it should be within reach.
Also, it is a strange thing to find yourself thinking "right, only 100km to go, should be okay".
Now - who signed up for @marcusjb 's one next week-end?
