Haute Route Pyrenees: Stage 5 ITT

Today we rode the Individual Time Trial.  In this event each riders starts separately (20 seconds apart) and races against the clock.  Our route was up to Tourmalet (again!) but from the other direction from the one we took yesterday.  I was a continuos climb of about 18.5km.  Here is the profile.
