There were some climbs we definitely rode separately when one of us was doing something else or feeling shit, but not 6km difference I don't think. I think my tracker went flat at some point so maybe that or just forest cover or something.
We got around in time. I think technically we were first mixed pair because the only other mixed pair DNFd but we weren't at all racing, just trying to get around.

That is incredible. And the next couple of finishers were not far behind.
I haven't followed it in detail but presumably the podium was decided by who slept least? I do think the shorter events like this encourage people to push the envelope on sleep dep far more than the TCR-length ones where you have to get into sustainable sleeps.
Just checked up on Hippy and he seems to be going OK, comfortably into the Vosges section. But he's 6km behind his partner - not sure if she's got fed up of waiting for him on the climbs, or if it's a tracker updating lag or something!
