Day ... Ah god knows anymore!!

---

Found it really difficult to motivate myself this morning, perhpas I lost the momentum with the really nice rest day yesterday, or that mind tiredness is a result of physical tiredness. Everybody seemed to be taking tody really seriously and looking for a time to compare to road marathons. Today was my most difficult day so far and I really struggled at half way. Helen and Maria: thanks so much for the handwritten letters, they were 100 percent responsible for getting me going again. I set some targets, to be the number 1 Irish person in the race, and also in the stage. Poor Alan Lafferty stormed off today and must have been devestated when I passed him with just 3km to go, but it gave me a real lift. Seppy and the rest of tent 63 were in great spirits at the line today, everybody felt that they will complete this thing. Just 17km tomorrow and then a shower in room 611 of hotel Villa Ametis. I have emptied the tank everyday here and feel that I have put 100 percent into this, no regret
