6 Hr MTB

6 Hour Endurance MTB race.
I managed to finish six laps in 5:54:07. After the fist two laps, I wanted to quit because of breathing complications.
A month earlier, I had bought a bike ant started riding at Mission Trails. Soon, I got the bug to participate in races; my main goal was not to win but to experience riding in groups. I often heard "passing on the left", I knew a rider was getting ready to overlap me. My legs started cramping on the third lap I guess my training lacked nutrition. I would stop to walk my bike and found some relief but before I gave them a chance to recover I was back on. On the fifth, lap I was in real Pain and did not have a "side kick" to help carry me out because I had pushed my body to the limit.
At the end of my sixth lap I was coming to the start/finish line when I heard you have 10 min before the deadline. "Try one more lap!" I replied I can't..

Maybe next year..
