My feet were very sore as I was approaching Burgos yesterday. It's internal, either muscles, tendons or ligaments, as I still don't have any blisters.
Last night I was contemplating spending a whole extra day in Burgos, to give the feet a break. But they felt much better in the morning. Still some pain with certain movements, but I could walk, and I was only going to do a relatively short day of 20k.
I taped the right foot, and it made me feel better, even if just a placebo effect.
The terrain today would be mostly flat, and I knew I could make it if I went slow, being careful how I placed my feet on the ground.
Yesterday was also fairly flat, and I sped up a bit (I beat Manolo 😂). No speeding today.Read more
