Day 594                                                        6th March 2018<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

30 miles (Maresias to Boraciaea ) Average speed 8.5 mph Top speed 40 mph<\/span><\/p>\n

A tough day in the saddle with a very big climb to start.
\nI got up at 8 and cooked brekkie of omelette with ham and tomatoes.  I took my time and made a few calls and checked out my next location and left at 12.30.<\/p>\n

The first two miles were flat, but then I hit the climb I\u2019d been dreading. Half way up I realised how unfit I was compared to Morocco when I was climbing more than 2000 metres without too much trouble. The difference here though is that the humidity saps your energy. I had to stop three times on the way up, but I\u2019m sure it is down to the humidity because I struggled.<\/p>\n

Maybe I\u2019ve put on some weight and lost some fitness through drinking and eating big portions of not very healthy food, but even so I made it through the big climb of .7 miles<\/p>\n

Well, I had to celebrate after that day of climbing!<\/p><\/div>\n
