I started a litle too fast and was over breathing during the 1st 3rd of the climb. Then slowed down considerably after seeing my friend Hugues encouraging me. I ended up at the summit with a 2'30" deficit and knew I'd have to hammer the downhill. 

Luckily even if I couldn't play my strength uphill due to uncompleted acclimatation, my downhill skills are now way better and I could gain 5' on Tyler's downhill FKT, running the whole downhill in only about 30'.

I was grateful for Francis, Ivan, Charlie, Jeff and Mattson for cheering me and pushing me to do it as my legs weren't that good that morning due to a big day only the day before 🙌
