It is always fun to look at some of the stats of the ride. From the planning sheet to target a 24 hour finish where speed estimates were definitely out – faster averages at the start to slower at the end. Stop times about right. Also my Strava data. I ended this with some fun comments on what worked and didn’t work.
What Worked
- Fortuna Car was amazing and did so well.
- My Trek bike and set-up was perfect.
- Extreme main light and Silva headlight worked well.
- Hydration and USWE back-back
- All the accommodation Booking.com and Lekkeslaap
- CP1 food was excellent
- Tug and Pier Restaurants in Swakop
- Namibia roads were well maintained
- Sandwich Harbour tour
- Having back-up support and shared driving
- Fresh fruits – apples
What didn’t work
- Desert Dash tracking system didnt work.
- CP2 was a mess in every way.
- Still struggling with correct nutrition for long distance events
