South America done
15 March 2012
South America complete.
14- number of police escort cars I had
5- average hours sleep a night
7000- kcal burned a day
4000- kcal consumed per day
6- litres of water drunk per day
4- punctures (not bad)
86- times I was hooted at
0- times I wanted to give up
It nearly killed me but we made up in the end. My leg here spanned 1700miles of 38 degree desert. I suffered from extreme dehydration, fatigue, lack of sleep and huge nutritional problems. I am glad I got it out the way first as it has really toughened me up for the rest of the race.
USA next. Can't wait.
