14:24 great comment! Thanks Dylan Good luck!
Comment from : Paul Gibby

The last words of this video was clearly to the sponsors of you, right? Noticeable
Comment from : The Antagonist

Great excuses can be get from THE VEGAN CYCLIST! And they are free!
Comment from : The Antagonist

Challenge: Do you remember the names of the cyclist who were second place at the last few Tour the France (I mean, the last ten ones)????? Of course NOT Nobody does Do you want to be remembered??? WIN SOMETHING!
Comment from : The Antagonist

Please, win something! Second place or any other place apart from the first place is just NOTHING
Comment from : The Antagonist

Seriously, I enjoy a lot your videos Pardon my bad jokes You are FAR MORE entertaining than that fake cyclist who calls himself THE VEGAN CYCLIST! That guy, just don't belong! He says that all the time and do you know what? It is true!
Comment from : The Antagonist

Your left eye is smaller than your right eye Noticeable! Do you see well? Maybe this is the reason you don't win? You can't see the way to the finish line!!!!
Comment from : The Antagonist

I see you changed! You combed your hair at home, right?
Comment from : The Antagonist

I love these race recaps!
Comment from : Tow Hee

Way to go! I raced my first mtb race at vultures knob in Ohio thanks to you! I race a 2 lap novice race and was pushed to my limits mainly due to one day practicing at an easy mtb venue Thanks for all your advice especially the weight training!

Great video Dylan, love how you bring out the positives and lessons to be learned 😀
Comment from : Neil Veitch

Thanks for the details Dylan Would you mind sharing your weight and tire pressure for this race?
Comment from : kthesing

Real high stake Races should just be solo timed by guineas records so they don't get aero drag factors
Comment from : jason200912

Hey Dylanyou seem like a good dude to meI really appreciate your dedication to racing and always trying to improve! I raced XC back in the mid 80's to mid 90's (started racing Rigid bikes), but at 72 my best racing is behind me I was out of Mt Biking and into RC airplanes for 20 years now with the latest goodies like Batteries and Wireless shifting, I'm back into Mt Biking again seeing what new trails I can findI'll be looking forward to more of your posts! Cheers! Thanks for sharing!

C white is a certified bad ass I was at that national championship he won watching
Comment from : Arthur Mulhern

Backwards-hat Dylan - so, that's his name :)))
Comment from : Mancam Povestim Invatam

Those watts are insane Is mountain biking less watt dependent than triathlon? Or the top guys really push >350W for 4hrs?
Comment from : Age Group to Pro Triathlon

Keep at it!
Comment from : Bike Life with Rob

unrelated but your tattoos are sick!
Comment from : Jairus Martinez

Had you been on the cupcake flavored hypergain beast mode you probably would have held that holeshot for the duration!
Comment from : KCAB Squadron

😂 I got a cameo!
Comment from : Iz King

Nice analysis Keep on rockin'!
Comment from : Narisevan sängyn riivaama

Thanks for this Dylan!
Comment from : Richard C

Keep it up! It's super important to be in good mental shape and you're doing it well Excited to see how the rest of the season will go
Comment from : DUSTY HOODS

Like your race debriefs! I would always blow up trying to have a good spot going into the singletrack so my downhill skills would not be hindered by slow downhill roadies Handle bar bells were common in the 90’s They drained no energy to flick them with your thumb and they induced stress until the slower downhill riders would let you pass😂
Comment from : Donald Morrill

I've only just started with the structured training, and I was recommended to check out your channel by a friend of mine I've watched some of your videos, read a bunch of articles on the internet and I have a pretty clear picture of what I need to be doing However with a typical 4 week training cycle the 4th week should be easy, but I didn't really find any clear information as to what that's supposed to mean Less volume, less intensity, less of both, no high intensity, how much less volume? I'm frankly at a loss, and coming into this easy week I do feel noticeable fatigue in my legs
Comment from : Forgot10

supportive comment here to bump the cogs!
Comment from : DANIEL WHITAKER

100 or 110 km is a big difference
Comment from : Θάνατος Χορτοφάγος

Dumbest move?
Comment from : Θάνατος Χορτοφάγος

At my last endurance race, the true grit 100 I definitely went out too hard to try and funnel high into the singletrack, that was a mistake I fought off cramps from like hour 1-4:30 I was eating so much to try and re-amp my system but man… The starting sprint definitely was not the move, without getting into specifics I think it definitely hurt my result! 11th) - great video Dylan I was hoping to run into you at sea otter, maybe next year!
Comment from : Pierces POV

Haha, funny thing: I made exactly the same mistake at this climb a few years ago I was feeling strong until like 20 people overtook me before the first trails I thought, 'hey these Americans are slow' for a minute or so Oops
Comment from : Nard

Strong work, Dylan! And thanks for another great video Us mid-packers have to be continually reminded to look for little victories as opposed to place results Appreciate the stark honesty about your mistake at the start Looking forward to watching the rest of your LGP journey! 👍👊
Comment from : John Natiw

Way to bring it around in the end with a focus on individual improvement vs competitive within the field This is exactly how I feel racing against the small skinny climbers in CO Cheers!
Comment from : Joseph Rosentel

I think your hair pushes your helmet 🪖 up an extra 1/8” causing additional drag That’s costing WATTS!!
Comment from : Scott

Thanks for sharing, great analysis 👍
Comment from : Glenn Pettersson

Looking forward to your future races D! Best of luck in all of them I wonder if the competition just has better 💉 nowadays and maybe it’s time you got on the better sauce as well! No shade just saying
Comment from : Tom Kallo

Why don’t you wear a GoPro and just narrate over the race footage like Jasper?
Comment from : barebare

Bro BHD I’m turning on The Notebook 🤣🤣🤣👊👊💪💪 Great stuff!!
Comment from : Rob Bogin

One thought that comes to mind, given the nature of the course, would it have made sense to go with a gravel bike (as the one guy did) and run wider and meatier rubber? Sponsorship aside, even a bike like the Niner MCR 9 RDO? Get more aero on the course, and just add a bigger cassette for the climbs hmmm
Comment from : George Kirschbaum

well done Dylan, what a balanced view
Comment from : Paul Ronan

Been waiting for this since the race Excellent analysis as always
Comment from : James Lawler

Have you done the Marji Gesick? If not, do you have any plans to do it eventually?
Comment from : Blake F

looking forward to more of theses types of video as you go through the series Good reflection on how you measure success
Comment from : Global Nomad

Good timing with the “breaking wind” and “cramps” comments No wonder you were solo 💩💩😂
Comment from : Travis Harnish

"breaking all the wind" - silver lining of the start is getting all the drafts and pacing in the meat of the race - interesting take - thanks for the insight and experienced mindset sure to help alot of younger riders Thats me on the last climb with my arms crossed after the guy standing with cramps
Comment from : igaroot

Meh, the only dumb moves are the ones you don’t learn from Besides, life would be pretty boring if you didn’t throw a “hold my beer, watch this” move every now and again
Comment from : Joe Minock

Great stuff, thanks for sharing!
Comment from : Matthew Repucci

I’ve recently (last couple of years), moved to marathon/gravel races The start is still a big question mark, my XC brain says get to the single track first, my long endurance brain says settle down and negative split the laps Good analysis here Dylan, I’m about six weeks into one of your TP build plans, you’re really helping me a lot
Comment from : Side Hustle Short Films

I broke my femur on my mtb 15 years ago I’ve been slowly clawing back my mobility and fitness and have definitely learned to embrace improvement, not absolute results Not sure if I’ll race again, but your videos inspire me to keep working Thanks!
Comment from : Jim Clark

Thanks for the video! Sea otter was my first MTB cross country race 18 years ago My buddy said get up front before it hits the singletrack Good advice I got 4th place! Raced there many times amateur and pro Also 24 hr solo races Thanks for the footage! I know most of the trails there
Comment from : aviewer bychance

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Awesome!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥You are in crazy great shape! The field is still incredibly deep IMHO you are racing at an elite level and able to hold fitness from season to season Great video! 🤘😆🤘
Comment from : SrAnt

Good luck with the rest of the season and keep the recaps coming!
Comment from : Josh Lloyd

Im no racer but when i do compete,my brain goes out the windowsomething i need to figure out
Comment from : Motostarmx

What do you use for a bike computer? Power meter pedals or cranks? Enjoy the videos!
Comment from : Tom Hornsby

Great job Dylan!
Comment from : Dan Kurtz

Dylan, I am not a racer but I am a Patron I support you I always appreciate viewing your evolution and how you share your knowledge You are awesome
Comment from : nycbliss

christ I've smashed of monkeys mobiles and scrapes with other riders and at fifty seven and a half im still doing fast strong intervals, still no weak hernias here
Comment from : Iloe Stryker

Overcoming a disappointing start is clearly evident with the output you put in over all You’re a talented guy to be able to focus after that and I’m glad you psychologically found purpose in still giving it your all even after feeling your legs
Comment from : Jay Rappa

Great recap Dylan In fairness you probably had the right strategy in terms of getting to the singletrack early, but probably should have tucked in behind a couple of the expected leaders rather than taking the holeshot Still I'm sure it created a few moment of confusion amongst the others when they saw you take off
Comment from : Bodo Knudsen

see you in Hico
Comment from : Earl Styles

On cramping, I have a lot of knowledge on this If you are cramping all over (hands, feet, back, arms), that's electrolyte loss If you are cramping in your actual muscles using to propel the bike, that's from going too hard
Comment from : Brett Blankner

Really looking forward to your videos this season Content is fantastic please keep them coming DJ
Comment from : Keith Morel

Just wanted to say that I love your analyses and honesty Keep it coming!
Comment from : Joe Lee

So awesome!!! Love the race recaps! Please keep posting them It’s so much cooler to hear a race recap when a racer doesn’t do as well as they hoped You really learn a lot I’m a big fan and I’m rooting for you!!
Comment from : Owen Ala

Great video…total pro!!
Comment from : TrojanWrestling1

Keegen Swenson is like the USA MTB version of Tadej Pogacar 😂
Comment from : Ezra Mullen

Another good, honest video Thanks 👍
Comment from : ekim viewmaster

You rock!
Comment from : Dan Dawson

It would be really cool to see a technical stage or 2 in the series to shake things up
Comment from : kenneth elliot

BRO TATTOOS
Comment from : Samuel Black Metal Rider

Totally agree with your closing thoughts in this video Success means different things at different stages Onward!
Comment from : Tae E Kim

I really appreciate your point about being "grateful during this period of growthand determined to be competitive" I know you know this, but I'll say it anyway You continue to inspire many of out here to spread the same mindset, "grateful and determined" Thank you for that! I look forward to seeing you again soon
Comment from : Matt Eggleton

Dylan, your perspective and approach to racing should be a lesson for everyone who competes It's more about the personal effort and improvement and less about "the win" and yet (as you've experienced) the wins often increase too Your videos are awesome, thank you!!
Comment from : Durwood Hill

Keep up the good work, Dylan These videos are invaluable Results will be forgotten, but these videos that actually help normal people will be around for a very long time
Comment from : JTMarlin8

Total jr move
Comment from : Joseph Wells

That's what we call the "activating the crap outta the race" strategy Good job!
Comment from : Meat Motor

not the smartest race mind not the most powerful but defiantely the funniest!
Comment from : Peter Fischer

New kit is fire
Comment from : Sean Gordon

2014 Dirty Kanza i was with the lead group while we were just rounding one of the bigger, steeper descents (don't remember the name) I was on a 2011 sub 20lb Cannondale Scalpel with larger 650B wheels The descent was fairly steep, rough and rutted Everybody was on their brakes except me I engaged both front and rear suspension and just let it roll At the bottom I was leading by about 100 yards or so I also remember looking around for a cameraman thinking"without a pic, none of my buddies are gonna believe me" Of courseno cameraman in sight!😕

Dylan learning that if you gaze into the Backwards Hat Dylan, the Backwards Hat Dylan gazes also into you
Comment from : acem82

Great attitude Dylan Thank you for sharing the action and your perspective
Comment from : Chuck Frizzell

Oh yes the aero package guy from the wind tunnel for gravel 😅brMistakes are good, it helps later down the line… plus you have plenty of races ahead Just don’t go on any more solo runs unless you take 2 riders with you on support brKeep going and stay out of the wind tunnel for Pete’s sake See what I did there <
Comment from : Lazlo

I have never had cramps outside of from extreme fatigue And I have raced XCO format races with zero fuel, no electolytes (in hot weather) with zero problem As in, even my power and RPE aren't even affectedbrbrI'm genetically lucky there
Comment from : Joshua Tootell

Can someone fill me in on the Isabel King reference at 0:59?
Comment from : Martin _

Keep up the hard work Dylan! You have nothing to prove, you keep getting better and that's what really matters, I hope you get to win one of these races one day My country has nowhere near the level of competition you have, but I have a lot of friends who have been racing at our highest level for years and haven't won a single race at that category, but they keep grinding and hopefully they get it one day I also know a dude who has been racing since he was 15 or so, he's like a 34yo family man now and is still winning races against 24-27yo dudes lol, so don't let these results get the worst of you!
Comment from : Martin Bogado Martinesi

Can you just loose the 10 watts and take a gopro with you when you race?
Comment from : Mclovin Bikes

Do you have data from other riders to compare your NP with them ? would be interesting to see if there is "weaker" rider in front of you due to simply best riding strategy
Comment from : Tommy

Great job DJ!
Comment from : Kevin DeRung

Are there drug tests at these races?
Comment from : crazynuts

If you're not sprinting off the line like a Cat 2 mountain biker trying to win the race from the start, are you even racing? 😂 Love the recap congrats on a really strong race even if it wasn't the placing you were looking for Looking forward to following the rest of your season!
Comment from : David Belden

Not only are you progressing as a racer you're also progressing as a individual The words at the end are not to be taken lightly and only accessible if you've also trained you self awareness muscles Results should not be judged by your finishing place against others Comparison in the thief of joy Nice work Dylan!
