Marmotte run 2 result

Run 2 went better than the first. Didn't make it all the way round but managed 5.5 hours and felt pretty good for most of the ride.

I started post Glandon so as to arrive fresh at Galibier which went well.

Just struggled on the last 2/3 of ADH. The simulator grade was steeper than the real thing and once again I think there is cumulative fatigue effect of the resistance always being high so you cant take even a micro pause.

I ate a mix of sandwiches, coconut rings, Snickers and jelly babies, totalling 2800 calories including over 400g CHO, This seemed to suit me better than gels.

Also didn't notice any negative impact of not carb loading or of doing a hard 180TSS workout yesterday
