To have a moan re: DH endurance sports event

[entropynow]

So I have to drive him for four hours to the event ( to save his energy), stay up for 24 hours straight feeding him drinks and energy bars every 40 mins then drive him back another 4 h after he's ( well we've) had a long sleep - he'll be too stiff to drive.
Grrrr. I am SO not feeling the supportive spouse vibe right now.
Moan moan moan sthu, I know. He swore that the last time was it, but I ought to have known better. What is it with fundamentally pointless ( imo) sports challenges?
And yes, if I don't go he can't do it - everyone brings their own support person/ team.

Right, because you personally know some women who do it, that means women and men do it in equal measures.

I’m not invested enough in it to argue about it, but it seems obvious to me, and others, that this is something more men do, and more men find it easier to do.

My dad used to do 24 hour mountain biking endurance events and he didn't take us with him, so he must have managed somehow.

He's also traveling to the world championships by driving himself across Europe, a night to rest, then racing.

What @RenegadeMatron said.

Just goes to show how ignorant you both are to endurance sports!
