Second Enduro ever, I finished and did not hour out!
Check out the check times and points lost.
One more minute and would have been DQ'ed at the last check.
Check --- Points
1 ---- 4
2 --- 20
3 ---- 8
4 --- 24
5 --- 12
6 --- 24
7 ---- 4
8 --- 40
9 --- 59
Total --- 195
I fouled a plug between check 7 and 8 and had to change it. Lost at least 15 minutes. My watchdog was not working either, I think
I had a bad connection between the computer and the sensor because it was not counting the miles so I had to update it everytime I got to a reset or posted mile marker. I had a couple of get offs but nothing major, running off the single track etc...
It was weird, after about 50-60 miles I started seeing things that weren't there, stumps & trees that looked like people
and hearing things too, if I stalled I thought I could hear people talking. I had some real good sections where I was flying (not A rider flying but flying for me!) through the singletrack and looking way ahead down the trail. I definitely need more singletrack riding time.
My goal was to finish which I did, although barely, but I know I was riding better than that which is nice!
Overall in the C class I wasn't last, but I was the last one to finish.
Damn spark plug!
