ALL day on trains

Running on beautiful Cile Island of the north west spanish coast.
Today felt R knee sharp cranch, which reoccured a few times over the next 2 days.

touristing. not too sick but cold lingering

Lots of walking in the hills of Sintra near Lisbon. Lovely!
Cold still bad.

no running the long B Final today. Sore throat which has been lingering and got much worse yestarday turned into a proper cold. In the morning I though running would be ok still but fet progressively worse throught the day, and in the end I was disapponted but very happy I decided to miss it.

EOC Mid. Felt good warming up despite the sore throaght. Started like a a cannonball, following the well trodden path through the grass to the first control. Then gradaully weakened and made lots of little mistakes.. 20-30 seconds here and there, not careful enough with the compass, which was disapointing as I really had my direction in control in the qualification.
Beautiful open cork forest but way too vague and same for me.. Would love to return to beautiful Portugal, and run on some of their awesonme rocky maps!
