Well done all you guys that actually finished. The fear of a massive calf-cramp in the middle of nowhere ended up keeping me from getting back on after the feeding station.
HUGE thanks to Corny for rolling with me in my hour of need while my calves felt like they were about to explode.
I'm looking forward to training on some long rides and doing it 'proper' next year. Annoying thing was that I still felt pretty good at half way, climbing was getting hard but I wasn't really all that tired I just had fucked calves. More fluid and salt next time!
Well done everyone!
