October 7: A Day of Rest

It was a scheduled rest day and it’s a good thing because I became overcome with a stomach bug.  After a workout, we walked down to the beach and chilled for a couple of hours.  Despite not feeling great, I took a swim in the crystal clear turquoise waters.

I struggled with the climb back to camp and knew something was not right.  The only thing I could accomplish was a shower as nausea took over.  There would be no food except for a few peanuts.  I headed to bed at about 6:30 pm but was up throughout the night to pray to the porcelain god.
