Lanza training day 2

Another tough day in the windy island of Lanzarote.  We upped the mileage from the day before by 50% to 67 miles with over 3,000 ft of climbing.  Two really tough climbs to start before we hit "Fire Mountain" which is one long never ending slog.  Again the downhills were "challenging" with the cross winds but I used my experience from yesterday.  I felt strong and spend plenty of time on the aerobars to reduce my resistance to the wind.  However the cross winds had me getting onto the droops bloody quick otherwise you could end up being blown off the road.
A small disaster at lunch when the most delicious pitza arrived and to my horror was covered in garlic - no mention of it on the menu.  I had to settle for banana cake and ice cream as there was no way I could have eaten it and kept it down with the journey ahead.  The end of the ride was really tricky with guess what?  You guessed it, a strong cross wind.  A poor German who was sheltering from the wind by sneaking up my inside got a facefull of spit because I didn´t see him and he should have let me know he was there,and taken on some of the workload.
We did a short run off the bike and it felt good, even after 4.5 hours in the wind and sun.  Straight into the pool to cool the legs off which is the equivalent of an ice bath.  Then for a recovery snooze.  Now for dinner, I´m starving!
