Was surprised to see an FKT that seemed achievable.
From some recent race results I knew I had it in me if all went according to plan.
Weather held out mainly until the last 2km so that was a bonus, also the trails were damp but not boggy underfoot so conditions were great really.
All supplies carried.
2x500ml flasks
4xgels
Bag of trail mix
Cereal bar
As others have commented on the section on the road is not the best due to the speed cars travel down there so advised to get that bit done early.
Had a great day of it, was on pace and thought I had it in the bag when hip pain started to set in however this quickly subsided and I was happy to have a decent buffer.
Great loop, nice and flat mainly and great trails.
Is begging for someone to take a big chunk off that time for sure
