I want to do a race this spring, the Mayhem MTB Race on March 23rd and don't really know what to expect. From what I understand it was described as 18 miles of "mostly flat with singletrack and dirt roads, some roots and log overs, a gravel railroad tie descent and a short pitched climb and descent" Im gonna run the over 200lbs class which I feel I will be most competitive in and be less discouraged for my first event.
My question is, how do I train for this?? I have ridden 19 and 20 miles on a few occasions, but most of my rides are 10 to 14 miles with 1500 to 1800 feet of elevation. What should I be doing to prepare physically and mentally to just finish this race. Any tips??
