Comments:

I did this last year and had forgotten how brutal the very long uphill slogs are over the 4 peaks e.g. first summit is 2 1/2 hrs unrelenting uphill from the start and for the first 35 km there is no flat running - it's either long ascents or equally long descents.
What would you do differently?:

Improve time taken in the aid stations to refill hydration systems.
Post race
Warm down:

Beer

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Slower on the long up-hills than last year. Need to work on improving aerobic capacity.

Event comments:

Spectacular mountain course. Race continues to be very well organised - from pre race communication / gear checks, right through to post race activities. Will be back again next year.
