    Went well for me, even though the last climb of around 1hr15ish was HELL.

    Got round in 7hr20 which included almost an hour of feedstop time so I wasn't exactly pushing it, but had a great day, suffered like never before at the end.

    Had some great advice on here re: preparation, esp. subbing in long hard turbo efforts towards the end of my training (TCTP century) to replicate those long alpine climbing efforts. Without that guidance I could easily have been walking that last climb with the many hundreds of others.

    Anyway feeling fitter than ever, going to keep on top of it through the rest of the year and go again next year, do even better. Overall a great experience 8)
