I didn't take any breaks on Bigdog but I didn't plan to and I wanted to place well and finished top 20, 5:50 and just about the last on eight laps. So it went to plan. But:
I tried to pace myself but at the start you cannot go slowly enough. So no negative split for me. But then this was the bigdog course and it has more climbing than Torq.
Four hours in it gets hard if you haven't done many six hour rides. Take a break if you need to and you've planned to - it's supposed to fun after all!

Fair enough! The six hour was painful enough. 12 is going to be tough. You should take many breaks.
