Day 8 - 5th March
Latest Update:Stopped for lunch in Arcos, a gorgeous little hill top village. Munched through some chorizo and tapas. There are bright blue skies, and a nice tail wind pushing me along to the finish.
There are still a few mountains to battle through but my bike is holding up amazingly well even after the puncture. I am looking forward to seeing the sea and my wife Bev, who will be meeting me in Tarifa. I'm going to be having a medical when I finish the cycle to check I'm in good shape for the swim, which I will hopefully attempt on Friday dependent on the weather.
Tonight I will be having several media interviews, relaxing and eating lots of food to provide me with energy for tomorrow...
Previous Update: All being well, this will be my last full day cycling. Right now I'm south of Seville and I'm going to try and fit as much in as possible in order to get to Tarifa today.
We're still deciding whether the swim will be tomorrow or Friday. It depends on the conditions and how I'm feeling. It may be safer for me to have a rest day rather than plunge straight in. One thing's for sure, I'm on the home straight now!
