Frank walks through what happened when his drivetrain stopped cooperating, how he tried to turn the bike into a single speed, and the very unhinged moment of trying to straighten a bent chainring with a rock on the side of the road. Meanwhile, Shayna was attempting to crew remotely from home using maps, Garmin LiveTrack, Apple location sharing, and a whole lot of stress.

We also talk about the emotional side of a DNF, accepting help when things are out of your control, what it feels like to tell your friends the race is over, and why Unbound might now be unfinished business.

Plus, we get into a little bike-versus-run fitness talk, whether running helps or hurts bike performance, and what’s coming next with Wilderness 101, Shawnee Hills Night 50K, and Marji Gesick Duathlon training.
