Today Brazil finally got the upper hand. The over-exertion the day before (you read about the new Bastard Grade hill, right?) coupled with dehydration, sickness, a bad night following a bad day; and I’m broken.

Just for a while; the brokenness isn’t permanent or anything, but I had no beer today after the cycle and slept on the bus. Both of which are sure signs Brazil broke me.

The cycle today was reasonably short and reasonably easy, however even on the flat sections I had no energy, was wobbling, and not really in control.

I’m sure with the amount of electrolytes, brufen and anti-nausea tablets I’m taking I will bounce back tomorrow, but for now, I’m a bit poorly with no stories to tell.

Highlights: Hugs from friends.

Lowlights: Broken.
