Ventouxman L distance - June 4th 2017 - Piolenc
Race reporter: Gérard
A friend and I looked into the Ventouxman L distance on June 4th. It was the 2nd occasion of the race, the 1st being 2015.
We knew the bike course consisted of climbing Mont Ventoux by the “Bédoin” side (harder than “Malaucène” or “Sault” sides). It looked like a nice challenge, so we registered!
A picture from the place where we slept at 7PM and 9PM. The Swim The swimming part was nice with no difficulty. I tried to remember the advice that Sylvain, Aytug and Bernard have given me and I completed the 1900 meters in 43:25. The Cycle It was definitely the hardest part! 7.6% average elevation for the 20 last kilometers… When we got to the start of the hill, they were at the end of their food supplies; they just had water and energy water left.
