mxhornet Oct 2009 9:35pm, 29 Oct 2009 22,828 posts	Quote Pin mxhornet Fair enough I only thought about it after putting my list together, I certainly consider it a DNF and missed it originally as it isn't listed in my records as one of my race on account of dropping out.

Too Much Water Oct 2009 9:40pm, 29 Oct 2009 1,897 posts	Quote Pin Too Much Water i dropped out of the 50MC as well after 5 laps and as i didn't complete the distance i wouldn't count it as anything but a DNF, the lady on the desk tried to give me a medal but i handed it back.
