That was a fantastic achievement, Maddy. A real insight to the trials and tribulations of a long gravel race. And considering the “obstacles” that you had to overcome, getting on the podium was a Herculean effort on your part. I understand your thinking, immediately after the race, not to do it again, but in a few months time will you change your mind knowing that you will be better prepared having done it once before? There is no doubting your commitment and inner strength to get to the finish line - 👏👏👏 Enjoy the rest.
Thanks so much! I think my mental determination overcame how awful my stomach was aha. I’m already feeling like I’ll be back to beat my time next year 🤣
Awesome ride and a cracking video (well until your go-pro yeeted itself off the bike). To have put in that performance on so little sustenance is remarkably impressive. Every day's a school day when it comes to events like this, you will be all the stronger for it. Congrats to Amira too, two top-5's for the Collective 👌.
Ahahaha yeeted is such an accurate word for what happened. I’m still not exactly sure the cause of the yeet. Most definitely have learnt a huge amount! And need to definitely test out my nutrition at higher intensities. We were very happy :) 🙌🏻
189w for 16 hours is crazy impressive. Also, “How to spot a cyclist…multiple backpacks.” I feel called out by this because this describes me whenever I travel.
Well done! Such a good video ahaha. I did the 200k and I feel you on the fueling. During the day was like 30deg and nothing was staying down apart from fruit sachets, banana and orange juice.. will you do the 200k next year?
Very good video, despite the GoPro getting adrift. Looked very hard - I wouldn't have wanted to do those gnarly sections on a gravel bike as standalone rides. Getting fluids into yourself is a common problem on long rides and 75km without water sounds impossible. A performance to be proud of.
So…. In the Maddy v Danni vlog comp I rate your gnarly race footage, supermarket sweep and rice scoffing just above @DanniShrosbree and London Bike Scene, John Lewis life, Lifetime Grandprix so far and hiding in a bush from lightning. It’s close though..

I've never heard of that race before. That is some ride Maddy. Chapeau.
This race is awesome! Best atmosphere of any race I’ve done :) they have lots of different distances and so many participants!
Chapeau .
Amazing.
❤ Awesome going, well impressed!!❤
Cheers !!
On a long event, it is really hard to get yourself out of a dehydration hole. Finishing top 5 when your stomach is rioting is an awesome effort.
Cheers :) have to say think it was just mental stubbornness that got me through it 🤣
Just found you, been binge watching all your videos haha. This one, impressive!!!
Average speed 21! AND number 5! 😎
Ahahah yeah with >5000m climbing and off road was speedy ahah
16 hours cycling too 🤯😎
OMG! That was awesome achievement congrats.
Thank you! :)
Wow what a crazy race, congratulations 🎉
Cheers! :)

Awesome effort…. Your positivity at all feed points was freaking admirable…. And top 10? Super cool.
Yesss 5th! :)
That's awesome, we'll done. Glad you didn't pass out from dehydration.
So am I 🤣
Nice video thanks, you havent put me off the TRAKA but you have slightly put me off rice 😂
It took me a bit of time to eat rice again after this…🤣
I kinda like this format. Its very... camcorder from the 90s with a 2020's gopro upgrade.
Congrats again Maddy. Pleasure meeting you.
Thank you!! :)

Yeah I think that didn’t include zeroes so slightly inflated! But definitely a very hard day out. Ahahaha I always do multiple backpacks 🤣

It was so hot! Completely didn’t expect that heat. Almost definitely will do the 360 again 🤣

What an absolute hoot - Nutt girls! How did you lose that GoPro? 😆
it fell off somehow ahah. But don't you worry, I stopped racing to pick it up!
360p notification 😛 best to leave private until the higher resolutions have finished processing. Ps we're only here for the spewing up lol
Ahhhh yes I was out and didn’t notice 😬 but all good now, will wait for higher quality next time aha!
