It is now down to 4 days until I depart. WOW it is really going to happen!
I have been reading blogs from past tour riders and watch some videos from them. The one thing that is becoming apparent is that this trip is far more challenging than anything that I have ever taken on. I hope that I will be able to take on this enormous challenge. As they all say, the trip is extremely challenging. It is not a matter of if you will get sick, it is a matter of when, for how long, how severe and how often. The physical demands of the trip, the sanitary conditions, the food, the water, etc. all add up to the body will be taxed to its farthest possible extent and the immune system pushed to its limits. With that in mind, EFI (Every F*#^<ing Inch) status is extremely hard to accomplish. But it is what I will be aiming for.
I do believe the saying.... Whatever does not kill us will make us stronger is sooooo applicable here. I'm hoping that it is not literal though. :)
In 4 days off to the African wilds I will go. I hope you tag along with me.
