Ouch! Amazed you could finish after that and that you would want to. This kind of stuff is why I see a lot of club riders not want to draft directly for fear of the same thing happening to them. You are officially one tough dude.
Yeah that dude needs dealt with. Gross behavior. Anyhow the rest of this race was great, you were definitely hustling! I haven't watched any bike racing in 19 years on TH-cam lol. I haven't looked but I hope rest of your year has been good. Thanks for the experience! - What place did you finish?
Thanks for watching! The rest of the year turned out ok once I recovered from my broken rib, concussion and road rash. For this race I finished 199th out of 1231. Not great but not bad after the crash and being banged up. I put in a lot more training for the 2024 season and greatly improved my position to 90th this year. th-cam.com/video/h_tvjLp5l_o/w-d-xo.htmlsi=YiofEPfrb36sTX9w
Man that’s a tough job, but the lesson I would take from this is, get a top tube bag so you don’t lose everything in your pockets If you tumble, and everything is at hand and you can access the gear situation faster. But yeah my two cents but hard braking is all part and parcel,, you trust the guy in front of you. I once was in a winning break only to puncture because the guy in front didn’t signal a rock was in the way and I punctured and I was screaming at the dude… I egged on the bunch as they passed… freakin bastard stole my sunshine that day. I was in a position not often gifted when the move is right,, the legs are good and the bunch are not willing to chase just yet. Yeah war stories on the bike.. we all have them. But you finished dude which is amazing, sometimes it’s not always possible.
I concur. Saw a lot of sketchiness in your vid. Appears wave 1 had many newbies, and I thought it was reserved for riders with at least one BRX under their belts. No reason for that guy to brake. I spent most of my time in wave 2 repositioning to avoid the rear wheels of others. Seems like 40% of the riders need a basic reminder of what "holding their line" means, and more judicious use of the brakes.
Hello sir late comment if I may I took time to watch the whole race, and on my opinion you are a great athlete you can go far in cycling but the problem that I noticed is your ability when you approaching an uphill you change your gears to late you change them when you are already on an uphill not before it that's why some couple of guys overtaken you on an uphill and I acknowledge that you had a crush I hope you recoverd but all in all you are a great athlete... ☮️
Agree with the others about how sketchy that group was - saw another video from BR where the group (I wanna say it was wave 2?) the guy was in was flying, but they all seemed pretty predictable. At BWR San Diego this year, I had a dude slam on his brakes in front of me coming into a damp turn (on the road) - didn't look like much in my video because the Hero 9 really smooths things out (and made him seem further away than he really was), but I was starting to lean into the turn and the front tire got a bit squirrely (but kept it upright). The guy in front of you seemed to have some daylight between himself and the rider in front of him.
looked like that rider brake checked ya. There was at least 1 or 2 bike lengths in front of him, when he just decided to scrub speed like that. SKETCHYYYYY
Estou usando pneus Chaoyang 28mm com tubeless, detalhe, esses pneus nao são pra tubeless. Comprei no Aliexpress por R$ 144,00 mais um pequeno frete, o par!! Está funcionando perfeitamente, pneu muito resistente. Já usei os pneus da Vittoria Corsa tubeless, pneus que rasgam muito fácil, alem de serem caros no Brasil. Comprei na época, o par no Aliexpress por R$ 360,00 com frete grátis. No Brasil, a média de um pneu é o dobro do par que comprei.
Keep it up Brothers🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks!
Bravo pour votre courage, surtout après la chute...Beaucoup d'indications. Filmé vue avant et vue arrière. Génial 👍👏🚴🚴😉. 🇨🇵
Wow love the vid so proud of your hard work 🎉🤪
Appreciate the effort that went into this upload! Way to press onward after that crash!
Works great for my trainer rides. 👌😎
Thanks!

Haha, that was me on Shaw takin a leak on the left side. Your ribs had to have been sore riding that techy stuff after that crash, well done!!
When nature calls, gotta go! Thanks, I definitely felt every bump in the road!
Awesome man! Orange kit guy at 1:25 here. Nice riding with you for a bit!
Nice. At the very beginning 1:25 minute mark or at the 1:25:00 hour mark?
Oops, hour mark
Hard effort! Sketchy braking from that rider. Glad you could continue the ride.
It was crazy. Probably shouldn't have continued with a broken rib and concussion, but glad I was able to finish without further issues.

Thanks. I have learned a lot from last year‘s racing and so far 2024 has been a much better experience.

I agree. I think with how big that race is they need more than just self selecting waves. I don’t know what the fix is, but it needs to be something.

Thanks! I'll consider that next time uphill.
Wow that sucks way to get back on it
Had a much better 2024!

I’m glad to have fully recovered!
Great race! The bike is a Checkpoint?
Yes, it's a Checkpoint.
What gear do you use to overlay the stats on your video?
I use the data from my gpx file.
So at the end of Shaw, you yell at a guy on the side "what are you doing over there", haha he ALSO has video of the ride and you can hear it. haha
Lol, nice. I needed some humor on that day!

Yah, he did it once in front of you (over braking), and did it again at 5.6 miles. Something to consider about repeating behaviors.
Yeah for sure. I learned my lesson and now I quickly try to avoid sketchy riders.

Thanks!
Hope to see you again next year. Drop by and Mrs. T-Rex and I will have a bottle of water for you.
Thank you so much! You all were a life saver, I was on death’s doorstep.
Gee get moving champ at the 16min mark.
I mean, I did have a broken rib, concussion and road rash from my ankle to my hip. Did the best I could considering 😕.
