More great racing action shots from the 8 Hours of Bonelli race.

At the 8 Hours of Bonelli I got 3rd place Elite Men in the 4-Hours Solo category. HOLY SHIT. It was actually my first time trying an XC marathon race like that; learned a lot. With shorter naps I could improve my time! I also need to find a better anti-cramp elixir. 

I loved the race format racing with everyone! 

In the end I completed 8 laps, the last two with heavy cramps. I thought my hydratation and nutrition was actually on point. I blame the cramps on neglected stretching of certain muscles (now I know you adductor longus!) and overall lack of adaptation for this type of event. I’ll get better at this the more I do it.

I’m glad I had the full suspension for this. The first few laps I had the suspension mostly locked out. Then toward the end I was happy to open it more often and recover, even on the bumpy climbs. Bonelli was extra chunky that day!
