Whaka 50 MTB race - 2023

[@thecottons4916]

Great to see what the 50k looked like from the front end - rather than out the back where I was (5.03.13!)! But the struggles mental and physical are the same, cramps on Old Chevy and Lions, disappointment at mistakes, reflection in the time after on what might have been if different choices were made. But great video, keep up the good work!

Hey thanks mate! You're dead right everyone's running into the same struggles out there, racing is brutal no matter the level

Awesome video man. I was the guy in the red jersey with the white stripe that chatted to ya. Really interesting seeing how your race unfolded, didn't realize you were chasing our group so much! Video doesn't really do it justice but I felt like you were real strong after apumoana going up bush road, left the rest of that group behind. Completely understand that race mentality, hard to accept your result but you still need to be proud of yourself. Let me know if you're ever in Rotorua again and keen for a ride!

Nice one Seamus, at least all of the cock ups make for a good video.

Thanks Jase, that's right you're not trying hard enough if you don't muck something up in a race 😂
