Day 17 - Again back from the dead ???

After probably my best sleep of the whole race (strange considering it was probably the worst hall), felt good (relatively speaking), very nice stage as we were again climing some decent hills (1,004 the highest), however as we started at around 300 Metres and finish at around the same height meant there would also be a lot of downhill to look forward to. Seemed to be a new refreshed me as spent alot of the day in the front half of the field, but was even more rapt to find the 11K's was basically 600 metres downhill, apparently you can see the Mediterranean on a good day but just a bit smoggy out the front today.
In short a good day, really loved the downhill, and was happy with my 9th in 8:24 just over 2 hours behind the stage winner. Totally different hall tonight really big, however i do manage to find the shower with a broken handle and have to bang on the door to get out (me and doors is an issue not sure what day now but i infamously managed to break a toilet door lock and had to have someone with a tool break in for me - apparently the same happened the previous year so it's just not me - would have been a very interesting 'DNS'). Now for dreams of the end.
