Cohutta 100 (XC Ultra Endurance)

Ugh, first race of the season, second time I'd been on trails this year and only the third time I'd ridden outside in 6 months! Well, trainer fitness did not translate well outside. Add to that way warmer temperatures than I was used to, nausea and a complete bonk at around 4 hours lead to a very long and grueling day. My body just shut down and I was forced into z1 and z2 felt like all out. I simply had no power. Mentally I maintained but it was just so boring riding at 150w for 7+ hours.

II really struggled with stomach issues and my kit was covered in salt stains. I think I was low on electrolytes, struggled with the heat and my allergies beat me up. Those are the only reasons/excuses I can think of why my body shut down. I came in well trained and a bonk like this has never had happened in the past.

In any case, the Cohutta 100 course is in the Cherokee National Forest in Copperhill, TN and loops through Georgia. There was over 12,000 ft of elevation gain through about 30 miles of single track and demanding 70 miles of fire road climbs the never ended. I don't think I need to revisit this venue.

*Last ~2:30 hours of the video kept bugging out and wouldn't process, so that part is missing.
