I only recently learned about this and decided to give it a try today. It was very close. I carried splits from the previous FKT and it seemed I was always neck and neck. I wiped out about 10 mins in and lost some steam, but thankfully not too injured and able to recover... Below are some useful splits comparing previous and current times. I’d be interested in trying again and reversing the route as that might be a bit easier…?
