Sorry to hear that Hippy, still managed a greater distance fucked than I’d manage at full health! Look forward to the next adventure you undertake.

Ha yeah, cheers, not quite enough though. The course gets easier after that climb I bailed on so of course now I'm wondering to myself "what if you'd just walked over that 34k climb?" and then I realise I'm being an idiot. I've always had the mentality to finish at any cost but now it seems stupid to further damage my health or just suffer through miles of route with no enjoyment. I think it was the right call to quit. I'm still struggling to breathe properly so will probably go to local hospital to see what's up. It might not be a technical MTB route but it's got enough to kick people's arses.
Note to self: turn off the panic-inducing "off-route" beep on the Garmin.

I could've bought some from Carrefor at the start. I didn't see the need though. I did have some in a beachfront bar at the finish as well as the finish party.
I liked the tagines and omelettes. Yeah, pretty samey and would scare food hygene freaks but they're still better than 7 Day croissants.
