Mixed results from first trial run of the Marmotte.
Plan was to do climbs at 250W and flats at 165.
I was comfortably ahead of this target up to second pitch on the Galibier. Then my legs just stopped working.
It wasn't that I had run out of fuel, I had none of the signs of bonking. It felt more as if I could not activate the nerves to make my leg muscles fire.
This was after over 4.5 hours and I speculate it may have been due to using my Neo. Unlike the real world the muscles are always firing, there are no micro rests that you get on even the steepest of climbs.
Other possibility is that my stomach was empty due to experimenting with using only gels. Next time I'll add in some "real" food.
