Gobi - you are putting in some massive numbers there!
Well done on 13th overall, that is a great effort! I can pull about 4Wkg for 5 minutes, I can't imagine what 5Wkg feels like...!
Thanks for the advice - noted about the first 5 minutes!

5wkg is ok for a couple of minutes( by 5 mins it hurts) but then you remember the rest of the climb and the alpe to come so you get wise 
Just done 3hours leisurely on the mtb , now to relax !

Well I’ve just sat in the garage for a looong time and had another go at the Alpe. I got to the 5 marker.
From about marker 8 onwards my feet were cramping something chronic wtf! (not normally a problem but I don’t normally sit there that long) HR was very low and in all other respects I could have just trundled my way to the top. We don’t have a fan and whilst I was sweating a lot I wasn’t overheating but I wonder if I need more salt.
It’s just a game but I feel disappointed!

That’s a shame. It must have felt like you were so near but so far away. I haven’t even had the nerve to think about it. Need to lose a lot of weight for it to be a realistic proposition for me.
Meanwhile my Young Lad has done it 8 times in the past 4 weeks or so. He’s up it like a rat up a drainpipe; takes him about an hour. He’s only disappointed he hasn’t won the wheels yet!!

Yes it did feel close but then the speed I was moving it was going to take more time than I wanted to sit there.
Still it makes the other KOMs on some of the other courses feel easy I might revisit some of those! 😂
