Hi Everybody,

Details and Analysis of my day 5 : http://connect.garmin.com/activity/19615601

Today was my biggest day since the beginning of my challenge. I have done 193 km after cycling during 7h41. The journey lapsed 11 hours. I started at 5h38 in the morning and I arrived at 16:25. The first 2 hours were quite fine as the temperature was under 26 degrees. But from 9 am I felt the warm of the sun through the concrete in the road. From 11 am the temperature was 33 degrees to reach 38 degrees at 1 pm.

My first stop was after 1h30 of cycling to take some energy and rest a bite. Only 10 minutes to recharge my batteries. The second stop was in Elliot at 10:15 after doing since Dunmarra 101 km.  It’s a small village with 500 people only. We stopped more than 1 hour and a half to put some gas, to buy some breads but also to update my website. It’s hard to find some network here so it was a good time to do it.

I restarted at 12 under a boiled sun. As I told you yesterday I think and now I’m sure that the sun wants to do a fight against me. Anyway, it was fine for me. As I have the wind against me, I have some fresh air but I suffered also trying to go ahead. Of course I put a lot of sunblock as some Nutella on a bread. On my mind, I was thinking about my gift...a nice bread with Nutella...maybe two in fact.

The road was quite fine although I have some elevations and still the wind against me. I’m afraid that I will have the stupid wind against me up to Adelaide at least...so wonderful...I think as my challenge seemed to be too easy all the spirits have thought to put some wind for me should be more fun...Thank you my friends.

Anyway the landscapes have started to change. We can see less trees and  less green areas. More I’m closer to Alice Spring less I will find some life...but I’m here to save some...so as I’m a fighter I will say to you....

See you tomorrow
