Clint rode in Lotoja this past weekend. This means he rode his bike from Logan, Utah to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. It is 206 miles in one day! He road with his friend Shawn, and Randy Reid (a friend of Shawn's brother). Shawn's brothers Mike and Brian also rode. Mike and Brian have ridden in Lotoja a few times and did really well, Mike placed 2nd in his group and finished in 9 1/2 hours. Brian placed 17th in his group and finished in 10 1/2 hours.
This was Clint, Shawn, and Randy's first time riding Lotoja. They rode as a group and did really well! Their finish time was 12 hours 45 minutes, 11 1/2 hours were spent on the bike. There were 1259 riders this year and 941 finished the race. After it was over they were pretty hammered, but looked better than I thought they would. Clint is still tired and sore and hasn't decided yet if it was actually fun or if he will do it again, but he has a great sense of accomplishment (sounds like childbirth)!
I got to "support" Clint while he rode with the other rider wives supporting their husbands. We drove the same route with a few detours and met the guys at feed zones. We traded empty water bottles for full, filled their jerseys with food and supplements for the next leg of the race, traded out clothes, carried extra equipment, and tried to be supportive! It was a lot of fun to be there helping and to see Clint. He has put a lot of time and effort into training and it was good to see it pay off!
CONGRATULATIONS CLINT!
