Today was the Chiang Mai MTB Epic. A three stage race, all in one day.
Stage 1: Flat on roads
Stage 2: In the jungle
Stage 3: Hill climb
The setup was that you had to race in teams of two so I teamed up with Johnny Hård, a Swedish ex-pat. All the teams started time-trial style with 20 second intervals
Stage 1, being mostly on roads, is where we won the race. There's this Strava section on flat asphalt that I'm particularly happy with:
We ended up winning the race. Good stuff!
Here are the results. We are team B-02 (we actually were the fastest team, all categories)
Here's a video that Johnny shot of stage 1 (that's my ass you see)
