I'm getting into the swing of things now, with back to back checkpoints and ever-longer stints on trains. London feels like a distant memory - to be honest, even Germany does, and I woke up there yesterday.


However, I'm going to take a longer pause in Graz to rest and recharge before what looks like a lengthy journey through Italy - hopefully just in time for the final ferry… Although I was never in it to win it, seeing dozens of racers cross the finish line today has changed the vibe - I'm now officially part of the slow and steady crew who are looking to enjoy things along the way.
