Justin Morris won’t be lacking racing kilometres before the Croc Trophy. He has far more high intensity kay’s under his bibs than his Subaryu/MarathonMTB.com team mates!

Three marathons on the trot, and the head wasn’t happy. Throw in some bad weather… and can a DNF be all that surprising?

MarathonMTB.com’s newest blogger takes us through the highs and lows of his first solo 24 hour event. Plenty of snap, crackle and pop at the Bontrager TwentyFour12.
