In a way it's easier if you ride faster as it's all over quicker.
I took enough snacks with me to not need to stop for a day if I feel like it. So I just got a stamp at some controls and carried on. There's lots of fast groups to hang with for the first few hundred kms before the group breaks up too much. That's how I ended up in Brest in 23,5 hours so I had plenty of time to get back. Then I ate a good meal, rode alone at my own pace, slept a bit and was good to go for another day, knowing I'd finish around midnight. Being quick at controls doesn't mean running around, just don't wadte time.
