Managed to get the win on the first lap 💪
20/151 based on the final lap time, 57/151 finished all 18 laps. Way more elevation than I expected in Lille 😅https://sportchronometrage.fr/live/defi-trail-lillois-25-j2






⛰️ Era Colhada (2,190 m) | 🌐 summitbag.com




Edit: After a few weeks of reflection, it was definitely the stream water that messed with my gut, I’ve never experienced a full night of puking from normal dehydration, and also I don’t think I was just dehydrated since I was drinking more than one bottle per hour.
⛰️ Còth de Varradòs (2,050 m) • ⛰️ Còth de Maubèrme (2,478 m) • ⛰️ Pòrt d’Urets (2,533 m) • ⛰️ Còth de Montoliu (2,491 m) | 🌐 summitbag.com







I started getting some blisters at 50km. Both legs and feet were mostly fine until 130km. After 141km, I just walked and cried in the heat for the remaining 27km.
Overall, I had fun during most of SMVE2023.






Garmin data 5km - 20:54 (4:08/km) 10km - 41:41 (4:12/km) 15km - 1:02:04 (4:05/km) 20km - 1:22:48 (4:09/km) 21.44km - 1:28:20 (3:51/km)





It was way steeper than I expected, probably should have checked that altitude map more in detail, or not.
Everything started to hurt after 40km.
Cried a bit after finishing
Official result was 11:28 I think, that includes all the stops and walking, especially during those last kilometers where someone put an unnecessarily steep mountain.
