Biggest takeaways from the Breck Epic

I couldn’t have done this race without Jackky’s support.

He did everything I didn’t have the energy to do and it helped tremendously. He’d hand me drinks and gels at the aid stations so I didn’t have to go through my bag. Jackky had my recovery shake ready when I crossed the finish line. He cleaned my bike and took it to the mechanics while I showered. Jackky made me meals while I soaked in the bath. He’d refill my bottles and gels when I ate. He washed my kits as I got ready for bed. I don’t know how others did all of this and raced the next day.

I never expected to lose my appetite after each race.

I assumed I’d be ravenous after every race because I’d be racing 4+ hours but I wasn’t hungry. I mostly felt nauseous. Jackky had to continually convince me to eat. I had to force myself to finish the meals he made, knowing it’d help me recover for the next day’s race.
