Le col de l‘Ecre, une ascension longue et rude, reste la principale difficulté du parcours où les athlètes gèrent différemment leur effort. Olivier Marceau triathlète pro, détient le deuxième meilleur temps sur ce segment mais le jour de la course c’est Andrej Vistica qui fera la différence sur cette partie.

“Strava ? J‘adore cette plateforme, ça motive, c‘est marrant, c’est un peu la compet entre copains. C’est un super outil de travail.”
- Olivier Marceau

“ J‘ai reconnu le parcours en avril dernier. Si tu appuies trop fort dans le col de l‘Ecre, tu peux le payer sur le marathon. ”

The Col de l’Ecre, a grueling 14 km ascent, is the most difficult part of the Ironman Nice bike course. All athletes plan their effort differently. Olivier Marceau, pro and local triathlete, holds the second best time on the Strava segment, but on race day, Croatian Andrej Vistica was the fastest climber.

“Strava? I just love it, it motivates me, it’s fun, it’s a competition between friends. It’s really a great tool to train.” - Olivier Marceau

“I went for a reconnaissance of the bike course last April. If you push too hard in the Col de l’Ecre, you are most likely to pay the price during the marathon.” - Arnaud Edus
