I got water in Koktal and headed west on a smaller road of decent quality. 10-12k flattish and then uphill - no wind made me sweat profusely attracting all kinds of bugs so I had to use repellant. I only managed to climb about 10k and 300m before I was completely knackered; even the flattish stretches seemed tough. Happy to have done 167k compensating for the short 70k day before...
