Srsly? No way!

I don't even care if this is in the wrong place. Shoot me.

Did my first ever Sportive on Sunday. Tour de Mon Canol. 76 miles of Anglesey head winds and lumps.

Never did anything over 54 miles before so really didn't know what to expect. I just held on. Really struggled with the last twenty miles. Cramped every time I got out of the saddle to tackle a hill.

BUT....

I only went and won first female!!!!!1!!!!1!!!!!!!one!!!!11

I still can't quite believe it.

The event itself was incredibly well organised and I'll be back for sure next year.

Sorry. Just fancied sharing. I'm a bit chuffed!

Finished first female. Sportives don't have winners

 

[potsy]

I didn't think sportives were races?

Is that my first TMN?

 

[Di Di]

Piss on my chips why don't you?

Nice.

 

[potsy]

Is that my first TMN?

Anyway I probably typed it first but missed the 'post' button the first time

excellent ...well done

i don't really know 'whatever' a Sportive means, but you obviously enjoyed yours, and also enjoyed being ''first female home''

don't let any old curmudgeon say otherwise..............congrats......

 

[Saluki]

Well done. Take no notice of the others, it's just because they have never been the first female at anything

Nice one Dido!

If I ever manage first female anywhere theres got to be something seriously wrong somewhere.

Well done to the OP for finishing Her first event.

Nice one Dido!

Oi, it's Di Di not Dido! I used to know a Di Di but she was so much of a metrocontrarian that I can't imagine her in Yorkshire. Or Wales, for that matter. Or a bike, while I'm at it.... Welcome anyway!

Congrats

 

[ColinJ]

Well done Di Di!

I nearly 'won' lanterne rouge in one sportive for coming last out of about 500 riders, but then a group of 6 or 7 even more knackered riders limped in after me!


PS In my defence - it was ever so 'slightly lumpy'!

good result, well done for doing the fastest time.
