@hellfire.events.official 2.1 | VIGO BYU - DNF @ 18yd ❌

Going into this off the back of a solid training block, was confident in the Rig’s ability to grind out 40+ yards after the year’s success to date.

The tough 9pm start was offset by the incredible atmosphere - class people left right centre, not least sharing the course with one of my Athletes and brothers @patrickmoorshead 

The night loop was a beauty - challenging on the mind, with a flat course save for a spicy climb in the last mile to break things up. Felt comfortable and smooth all through the night, save for a few bumps on the GI front - but largely uneventful.

As day broke and the 12th yard approached, the body felt good, and spirits remained high. After the first few yards of the day loop, however, things started going south - started getting some serious bloating, rejecting food or any sort of liquid calories.

Slowed up massively as the pain got worse, resulting in getting timed out by 2 mins on the 18th yard. Disappointed doesn’t cut it having felt in top nick prior, but some days just aren’t your day!

Back to work ready for Retribution at Dover in January 🫡

Huge congrats to my boy @patrickmoorshead for smashing his goal of 12 yards (50mi); and a massive thanks to @hellfire.ryan for putting on such an awesome event with equally awesome people all around. I can’t wait to come back for round 2 in Jan!

And of course, El Capitan - @maddie_cottrell for her unrivalled crewage throughout. Hero 🫶

The Road to 48 goes on…
