I'm sure my mates wasn't saying "respect" when my legs stopped working
Still, they were very supportive.

We managed to run up Massanella one day (the highest accessible peak). It was fun to run up but too hard and rocky to run down quickly without hurting my knees. We are really blessed in this country with spongey, grassy descents. I can see now why many continental races only go to the summit.
