Lachlan Morton returned to the Unbound 200 after winning it the prior year but crashed out midway, showing how the race can deliver both dream days and nightmare days.
-
Race entry — Decided a week ago to race the 200 after winning previously because skipping it felt wrong
-
Training ride — Completed a 5.5-hour session mixing low-cadence torque efforts, endurance and threshold intervals on flat ground
-
Bike tweaks — Experimented with handlebar position between efforts to gain aerodynamics for the fast course
-
Mid-ride fuel — Smashed banana on toast with two boiled eggs, honey and salt as a snack that hits right
-
Travel leg — Biked across the Utah salt flats during the drive to Emporia
-
Mud strategy — Rode in grass along the fence line to keep moving through sticky sections instead of walking
-
Crash outcome — High-sided in rocks after 75 miles, landed hard on hip and later reflected on the race chewing riders up
