I've been looking at it as a potential trip for next June.
61 miles and 21000ft for the long race, so a bit of a step up from the 10 Peaks stats-wise (45 miles and 18000ft).
But suspect the fact that the majority of the climb is all in the first half, up to mount Teide, then a constant descent back down to sea level, coupled with the heat and sun, would make this a very tough proposition. The final 4800ft or so of climb being concentrated in a mere 10km according to the route profile...!
