Today we tackled 216 km, and once again, Algarve gave us a proper challenge! 
The forecast said no fogโฆ but the fog clearly didnโt read the forecast! 
So we had to wait a little in the morning until visibility improved. But with temperatures expected to pass 30ยฐC from around 11:00, waiting too long was not an option either.

The first two of us arrived together, more than one minute ahead of the next arrivals. Then came very small groups, followed by bigger and bigger groups.
We also noticed something interesting: many of us were arriving from very high up. That probably means there was some extra speed available in the higher wind layers. Maybe some of us discovered the express lane!
