It is probably the toughest and hardest triathlon you may encounter during your life long endurance journey. The Embrunman triathlon, happening in Département Haute-Alpes (Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur) accumulates astonishing 3,800 meter vertical climb only on the bike leg with summit Col d’Izoard (2,360 m) to cross. Current male course record: Félix Martinez-Rubio 9:57:37 hours.
