Experience and confidence seem to have played a big role on both races, both Winder and Howes were super close to blowing up but kept it right there, where it is all out balls to the wall for "exactly" the distance left. It was awesome, as there were clear points in the last 5 km or so, where both thought they were done.

"Howes: I don’t know. I will say that Dirty Kanza taught me how to keep riding through cramps. I think I had cramps for the final 100 miles of Kanza, which still blows my mind to say that. I rode for four and a half hours with cramps at Kanza and yesterday it was only 7km. That’s no big deal."
Wut? You can have the stars and stripes just for that comment.
