A real scorcher since CJ and I left at 13:10, and I think I was suffering from loss of electrolytes (electrolysis?)towards the end as I drank fantastic quantities of water and Powerade. So much perspiration evaporated off my body that I just had salty powder all over me towards the end. Body felt exhausted and I think I had mild sunstroke, as I was feeling a bit cold and goosy in the last few kilometres.
It was so hot that the moment after having a drink, and the water bottle is back in its cage, your lips and tongue turns dry and stick to the roof of your mouth. Hardship! My body was cramping up towards the end but fortunately managedn to stay relaxed and not tense up and go into a spasm.
The lady in Dealesville offered us the bananas for free. Think she likes us investing in her shop. All the water and stuff came to almost R90.
Ate Simba chips to get the salt back, and was so glad to eventually lie down and sleep. Very hard day!
