I did the Puig back in about March 2006 after going to a training camp in Mallorca in an attempt to get back into racing again after a few years layoff. Final day, did the climb, did the ride back down and about 5km from base in the north-east of the island my right Achilles ruptured. Season over. Apart from that it was a great week.
Ouch. I didn't bust my Achilles but when I did Soller to Pollenca and back on the second day my Garmin recorded a maximum temperature of 46degC. I suffered like a dog on the climb back up to the Repsol garage near Lluc.
