I finished on Thursday afternoon, and have mostly been sleeping since. On that last night I tried to camp a couple of times but the Cork ground was too stony for my pegs, so in the end I grabbed an hour under my tarp looped over my bike lent up against a gate and then pressed on. At that point I expected to finish mid morning, not realising just how slow and windblown those last two peninsulas would be. By 7am I had the dozies, but a quick roadside nap reset that. I slowed down throughout the day though as lack of proper sleep caught up with me. I think lack of sleep contribuited to me forgetting to take any caffeine until Clonakilty and letting myself get dehydrated in the afternoon, so there was a bit of a snowball effect.
