I don’t look South African anymore

This morning I woke up and I would’ve loved to get up and go for a good old bike ride. The problem is that for the past few days I’ve been feeling ill and even this morning I woke up, still carrying the fever that has been bothering me. Add to that the headache and you might think that I have something more than just the common cold.
Out of commission and frustrated beyond words, I’ve started looking through old pictures of myself and come to the conclusion that I need to get out a lot more. Gone is my South African tan that I arrived with – instead I am now quite white. Apart from some really burnt shoulders that I managed to get on one single bike ride a few weeks ago. Gone is the sun bleached hair. Now it has this horrible stripe in it that a hairdresser made when she had a really bad day. I’ve not had the courage to go back in fear of what might happen next time.
So here’s to more outdoor training … once I manage to lose the fever and headache and all things that make illness what it is.
