time and energy. About five
minutes into the second loop,
Huddy passed Webb and didn't
look back.
Shortly after, Guest and
Kamakana were battling with
each other, gaining ground on
Webb, and eventually passed
him. Kawelo Huddy came into
the finish at three hours, winning
the class and ending up waiting
49 minutes until Ryder Guest
finished second. Kamakana
finished third only minutes after
Guest, and Webb finished in
fourth, an hour and 13 minutes
behind Huddy.
Huddy and his KRD team
-
mates all rode very strong races,
and their local experience and
time spent training on this ter-
rain made their home-court ad-
vantage evident. Webb still rode
a great race and finished a full
racecourse within the time limit,
but he admitted how much he
struggled and claimed this race
was one of the more challenging
events he's tackled. There were
quite a few racers stuck trying
to get out of the mountains for
nearly 8-9 hours before they
returned.
The second race of IRC
Endurofest-Hawaii will be the
Koa Mauna Hard Enduro this
Saturday on March 2 at the
Kahuku Motocross Track on the
North Shore of Oahu.
