Antje falls victim to Mexican bug

A long 24 hours weighed heavy on our team Gal having been laid up in bed with the one thing all here are trying to avoid- the dreaded Mexican bug. The doctor has called, tested, pricked, and prescribed much to Antje´s better health. She says she is feeling a little better however still has a fever of 39 degrees C. Needless to say she couldn´t make it to the hill and is doubtful for tomorrow as well. I have cooked her up my Wife´s recipe of sloppy rice tailored for such occasions and stocked her well with Gatoraid. It might be a while until she is well enough to make it to this blog to read your generous comments that keep rolling in so please send her a ´get well´text/call on her Mexican mobile number: +52 7221331516.
James took line honours todaybeing the only Aussie in goal so a big Hoohaa for him. Last I saw of him he was at HQ being laiden with Advance bounty by one of their main men so I don´t think his efforts are going unoticed. I dropped 4km short of goal that may have seen my best run yet as the guy I left glide with made it in the 20s he thinks. It´s all speculative of course, because.... I landed short. Gav ended his great run of goal scores by falling short on a tricky leg of the coarse which took it´s fair share of misfortunates. Great day´s flying none the less with bases of 4000m and long convergence lines.
2 days to go to end this marathon event. Everyone seems a little stretched with an average of 4 hours air time per day. The sky seems to be compliant giving us her big farewell in all matters of speaking. Anyway signing off for another day. We had a Tequila Sunrise for Ali´s birthday the other day, so when Antje´s better we´ll toast up a few for your´s today (Mexico time) Brian.
Shane.
