My first ultra on tarmac: 1000km in 57 hours

Last weekend I rode the ASA Epic and finished 9th! Lots of things were similar to riding offroad, but definitely some unique challenges too. Definitely lots more non-stop riding in static position with higher tire pressure, which I think contributed to some continued loss of function in my extremities. Still a amazing experience once again. It's amazing to see just how much capacity for suffering your body & bike have 😅. Big props to the winner, whose total time was around the same as my net riding time – insane! Perhaps next time I should skip those two brief rests, although hiding for the thunderstorm did feel like the right thing to do 😲.
