Having used Facebook to tee up a training ride, the first task of the day was breakfast. Another marathon done, it was off for the free massage I could get with the Hotel package, so long as I paid for the free massage on top of the Hotel price. I hadn't, but they sent me an email saying book a time, so I let English lady go to work on the ITB, achilles and back.
All done, it was then off to meet a never before met teammate to ride the bike course. Hail on the way to the meeting point was an omen.

As we struggled to actually find the course, we were hit by more rain but persevered through rain, hail and not so much shine, up and down some pretty decent slopes. We actually rode too far, but exercise is good, isn't it. The 1 hour ride had taken 2, but we did return. Back to the rooms, dump the bike and off for a burger and coke, closely followed by a siesta. Woke up from siesta with a bad, good knee.
As most shops close at siesta time, we found ourselves waiting until after 8 to search for food. A succession of no seats available and a huge rain storm led us to a nice little place where ribs and salad and octopus were well appreciated. No dessert however, not sure why. Perhaps I'm in training.
Oh, also did a 10 minute run.
