It was bloody hard, and at times I was thinking of quitting too. I got some sort of heatstroke or sunstroke climbing up the Passo del Lucomagno - felt sick, couldn't eat anything, could hardly drink anything, felt dizzy, and ran out of water with 20km of climbing still to go. I recovered after 2 bottles of Coke and 2 glasses of water, but never really fully recovered. Glad I did it, but boy did it hurt.

@danstuff Chapeau! How did you like it? Last year I seriously considered DNF'ing just before the summit of the Passo del Lucomagno, so killing to climb for over 40kms.
RE Garmin: two friends of mine did the Gold version this year and they both clocked over 7000m elev, must have been some strange meteorological situation in Switzerland yesterday ;)
