FAST IS FAST AND SLOW IS SLOW

I am done with 100 mile events i gave it a try and its just to long for me. I have around 75 miles in me on the mtb and that is it, the last 25 miles are just awful. I am also drinking the single speed koolaid it doesn't really matter how many gears you have your either fast or your slow. The shenandoah 100 was a very humbling experience anyone who thinks anything here in ohio is to technical had better never go east those trails scared me to death. Nothing like wanting to stop when your going down hill but cant because you cant brake well enough, your hands are numb and your forearms are so pumped you have no strength to squeeze the brakes. So i have converted my paragon into a single speed and so far so good raced manatoch did ok could have used a little more gear but its a learning experience. Rode mohican fastest lap ever by myself( i have gone faster but that was with lorson beating me up and pushing me the whole time). Sunday is the knob i think it will be rough on me just because of the short steep climbs but we will see i just need to learn to get off and run when i screw up a climb.
