It started pretty well. Asphalt to the city limits, then a few kilometers in the terrain until a village where I had lunch. There I met Paula from the US and Han from the Netherlands.
Then it got worse. There were three huge hills to Almogia, about 12 km. It took me 6 hours! Could barely walk 20-50m without resting. Ok, it went up very steeply, but still, I wondered what was wrong with me. Wondered if I would arrive at all. It was terrible. I also didn’t have enough water, drank one liter and a half when I arrived. Paula and Han had been worried about me. They had arrived a couple of hours before me.
Shower, laundry, and a sandwich for dinner. In bed at 9pm.
