Sprints past him in the final few meters.

A really good sprint by Philipsen.

Welcome back to the Lenten Rouge Cycling Podcast.

I know this is a little bit tardy, but we have the recap of the Tour Au Verne Rhône Alpes, also known as the Dauphiné Stage 7.

Benji is going to have to carry the first part.

I have just watched, and thanks for the guys waiting, I have just watched the final climb Grand Colombier in full.

and this episode is brought to you by morton in more ways than one without them there would be no podcast today literally because i'd be done uh you'd be dead by the side of the cliff in andorra i'm so cooked if everyone doesn't know i did uh the andorra utmb um 50k race today and running running yeah in the mountains up to 2500 altitude meters

Yeah, three and a half K elevation gain, 50 Ks.

I was suffering a lot.

I had like bad cramps and spasms in my groin and calves, like 12 Ks in, which wasn't ideal.

And then it went away.

So I just suffered for five hours and then I came good the last two and a half hours.

So I went under 10 hours.

I take it.

I stopped for an hour.

Yeah.

I think that's incorrect.

I think it was cumulative close to an hour.

um i went out way too hard i did a parabolic pacing strategy not a negative split not a positive i did a parabolic pacing strategy so i've just done the first thousand meters full gas because i was like i've never run further than 17ks i'm gonna have a mechanical breakdown so get the k's in as fast as possible because i aerobically like fitness wise i

i was fine even in the last uh whatever and then i was suffering suffering suffering i was like i was crying because like my i couldn't i couldn't feel my feet my like feet in so much pain and that came good last 15 18k
