Subjective feeling out of 10 on:
Enjoyment: 8/10 - loved today - so far my most favourite day.
Fatigue: 2/10 - felt amazing
Ease of terrain: 6/10 - terrain was a lot harder especially on the descents, steep and very rocky. You needed to be careful of your foot placement.
Challenges: it’s a Sunday so no supermarkets open. Only small convenience stores - so not able to do a food resupply. I’ve still got walnuts, dates, seeds & a tangerine left!
The snoring was unbearable- still awake at 2.30am - enjoyment went from 8 to 2. I. Hate. Not. Being. Able. To. Sleep. 💤
Highlights: epic day - stunning scenery. Felt so strong and fit. Towards the final 5 miles started running the flats and the downhill sections. Loved it. 🏃♀️🏃♀️

Subjective feeling out of 10 on:
Enjoyment: 7/10 - solid morning! As long as I get good food in - it will stay a 7
Fatigue: 3/10 - felt great again. Towards the end of the day - ran the downhills and flats.
Ease of terrain: 4/10
Challenges: none.
Highlights: great millage and feeling strong 💪 . Good weather and some nice views. Afternoon nap in the sun and catching up in sleep. Also did some planning for the next 2 days. I wasn’t able to book the next accommodation- but it’s a municipal albergue with 100 beds. So I should be ok and I’ve booked a bed for the next big city - Sarria which I’ll reach on the 31st.
