Marathon Sunday Lunch in the Monegros I call this work I had never done so many miles in a row, 119, but with less slope than other pedals, but that does not to avoid being a stiff ride, adding heat and desert dust.
After 240 km we Sariñena. At 7.00 h stayed the Fernan, the Legi and I at the pump to go in convoy Sariñena address in Huesca, the caravan was on that for once torn each car to yours. At 10.00 pm we arrived at the Monegros, we took the back and after a pulp supplies we meet there with the rest of the group.
This is what awaits us after the race! .. 
... but for now we settle with this. With all this, not that used to arrive as early as the end gave us so much that we caught the bull, and that from our position there was not the outgoing edge. No less than 3000 participants of which 2300 and 513 finished the marathon half marathon.

After 3 minutes to the start of the march, 13.30 h were beginning to roll, Legi, Fernan and I start a group but the circumstances of the race was that we parted. Played passing and passing cyclists, looking for holes and test it slip that I was bringing me down and keeping track of my company Fernan, of course in great shape.
After verifying that only had a hit in the thigh and thank god only a small contusion of the wrist will go on, but not before straightening the bent derailleur, which I realized that I jumped to see the marches. In many areas
bikes ahead of me real clouds of dust rose, stifling, you clouded the view to the point of literally shoot blindly, this is the desert! Bleak landscapes that from the top, you lose sight on the horizon with vast plains and shrubby ground. Rocky hills, bare and eroded by wind, were remarkable for their unusual beauty. Shame not to photograph, but is that in the timed pedaling already known.

Refreshments were generous, bananas, oranges, watermelon, nuts, pasta, energy bars and drinks, water ... go, he left it as new and loaded with drums of water.
And what you saw coming, both surpassing force and advancing the machine in the kilometer 80 I put the legs like sticks, a strong ramp in the left quadriceps semi blocked me, trying not to release the legs as I got worse, had to take them by force. Because of this was exceeded by many participants in this episode of my career, all I got to the next refreshment and after stretching, walk a little and I went to eat to feel better. To pull back as anything, to reach almost 100 km. time again to have another strong hint of ramps, but this time I went down to the twins. Gradually I dasaparecían, and already in the last 15 km were soft rise could accelerate the pace a little fix for at least a little of my classification was a challenge for my staff, to check my form, which after today and checked that it is a little low. Position 941 in 5:52:26.
