I did this race in 2019 but only made it to mile 175 before pulling the plug. I was bummed about that ride so I went back this year with redemption on my mind. I raced the Pro Men's race and finished sub 10 hours. See how it all played out in this video.

@redjustin97 Ай бұрын

Great recap. Fast turn around. On the subject of budget, if Mohorič hadn't flatted and won, then more WT pros will show up with teammates. Unbound will turn into like a Spring Classic, with team leaders and domestiques. Solo riders will get squeezed out.

Dizzle, that music was epic, man. The Niki Terpstra thang was awesome. We had a Aussie National Champ in our field in Kaiserslautern way back in the 90's at the Armed Forces Training Camp. Once the BDR bullet brigade (Profi and A/B's) realized who it was, they weren't so upset at nearly being lapped in that crit.

Being able to afford this alone you know he's making BANK given the average house in Boulder costs like $800K for a 2 bdrm 2bath. He also has the opportunity to ride at altitude anytime he wants. Whenever I'm out riding and I see Lachlan he's drinking a beer mid or post ride. Maybe you need to drink more beers?

@ZenEndurance Ай бұрын

Justin McQuerry is super cool and one of the nicest guys in the sport. Cool seeing you ride together! How did the State frame ride? Like Lauf says, I think a heavier, cheaper frame is faster on choppy gravel because it's more stable. Then you can spend money where it counts, like wheels and drivetrain. When I surf on choppy days, my heavier longboard is actually a smoother/faster ride than my lightweight performance board. And for people saying an aero helmet gets too hot, Lachlan's obviously didn't and Chris Miller reviewed it as staying cool. Aero helmet is the best bang for your buck for speed. We need to get Dylan wearing one!

someone tell dylan about aero helmets as much as he digs through the mud for marginal gains he missed one of the biggest ones. even in a bunch the helmet sees the most wind since its higher up. by the numbers alone i would estimate lachys aero helmet vs dylans would be 10 minutes through the length of the 200mi course. dylan finished less than 5 minutes behind lachy who actually was eating the wind more than everyone else.

If Dizzle generally pushed harder earlier, he likely would have blown up earlier. The bottlenecks are always the undoing of placing really well using a strictly “negative split” pacing strategy. But, in general, negative splitting is a sound strategy because SO many people go out way too hard.

If you had Pogi money at $5Mill a year, your result would not be close to there top guys. I think you know that. Also Lachy not paid anything close to that $200k mark.

The guy that won the Unbound 200 non pro race is a 50 year old Engineer. I don’t think there are many ex pros in the world who are 50, that could have beaten him. Either have talent or you don’t.
