I haven't been up an alp before, the smug is attempting to cover up how much i'm bricking it.
I vouch that my route is true and clean officer, no funny business, all parcours and checkpoints correct and accounted for....
You've done a good job then. Damn. I feel obliged to take a massive detour just to lose some elevation now and give the dot watchers another boner - they love it when you do dumb shit.
1000m extra climb over 4000k isn't much. Actually more like 2000m but still..
That smugness will go quick if your route is on a banned road or something than mine isn't on. :)
Is yours with or without all the required parcours?
