I did it in 2019 on a tarmac disc with 28mm tubeless schwalbe pro ones. It was fine, no flats, but I lost time on descents and even dirt flats and climbs because I just can't put good power down off road when bouncing around. I did some gravel rides before that but none at anything close to race pace which was a whole different beast for me

Not an awful time but not competitive with the big boys by any means.. would have finished slightly faster but caught up to a teammate with a mechanical and rolled in a little easier with them and a couple others that were cooked
