Our first training in Portugal. We were first ones there in the morning. Perfect temperature. A very long "middle" (7.1km), but such a pleasure to run. Boulders, rocks, open cork forest. Had fun with Ross trading places as we variously got lost. tired by the end, but worth it. Forgot GPS watch, so time & distance a guess.
Map name "Quinta das Lavandas", just north of Castelo de Vide where we are staying.

Ran two "forest sprints" with Ross in afternoon. It was a 1:4,000 map of a giant boulder field. This was different as pace and distance was a totally different game. Couldn't stay ahead of Ross! Times were 17:39 and 14:30 for 1.5 and 1.4 km respectively.
Map is called "Povoa e Meadas"
