Day 2

 Message of the day : We are AT LEAST, (let's say) three times stronger (mentally and physically), than we think we are. Trust me on this one.  But even if you don't trust me... I will give you an example. (A real one)

I am not gonna hide it...Or pretend something that its not there! So,because of the war that I had with the weather yesterday... Today I was tired before I even begin! 

So after the first 30kms and a good climb.... I had already started thinking that I will not be able to do the 100kms that I planned to do for today! Maybe not even the 60! I can't say that I was desperate, no! The only reason that will make me stop for the day's goal,before I "supposed" to...would be only if my legs doesn't allow me to continue! 

But ye...today I was thinking that maybe my powers will abandon me. But you know what? In the end... not only I did the 100 kms...but I could do even more.

So trust me when I tell you... we are much stronger than we think we are! You just have to trust yourselves! 😉

After half way or so...I stopped in a gas station to change my super "wet from my sweat" clothes. (I used this air machine that toilets have! At least it was useful once just for a change!)  

I was in there for a bit...and as I was getting my cycling pants dry, and I was just with my underwear...a guy knocked the door, opened it, and without knowing me or where I am coming from....He spoke Greek to me and said with a smile on his face.... "come on! What are you doing here for so long? I need to pee! "

And as I was laughing (because the way he said that was really funny), he said "come outside...2 mins and then you come back inside again!"

So ended up outside of the toilet...outside to the gas station....just with my underwear 😅 For a moment I thought that police will arrest me!

Anyway this didn't happen! So I finished with my clothes and kept moving !

I was a bit late today...so the last 15 kilometers or so...had to do them with my head lights ON! (it was fun to be honest ). 

The only problem was that when I arrived to the "city"...I couldn't find a place to sleep (yea this time I didn't book anything earlier). So I was almost ready to just take my tent and set it up in the first place that I will find in front of me (which would SUCK big time...coz I was DEAD... and I really didn't have any power to set up my tent...and I also needed a warm shower!!

So thank God I found a nice guy on the streets...(with a beautiful and sweet sweet dog, which didn't stop playing with me💚) and after 20 mins of searching...we found a hotel that has free rooms and it doesnt cost 300 euros!

I went for check in...found a place to eat a pizza, a coke, and a hot tea, and went straight to my room to take a warm shower and DIE!

Which is what I am gonna do RIGHT not actually, right after my ice therapy!

Have a good one🤘
