The last day was far easier than the first two days for me Ed. I was full of energy. That was despite the ankle pain. I feel that I trained well but was unlucky with that injury. The first two days were draining. We did not eat enough and in hindsight, 280mi in two days was probably not the wisest...we should have shortened day two and lengthened the last day.
I was more hinting at the fact that our 3rd day route took us up and over numerous valleys instead of following contours and therefore probably subjected us to many more shorter but very steep climbs.
