Where oh where has my backside gone?

Five weeks into this trip I have lost more than ten kilos and what was once quite a comfortable kayak seat is not quite so comfortable anymore. I have rediscovered my rib cage and have almost no fat reserves left. It has been interesting how this loss of fat reserve has impacted on my energy levels. At the beginning of last week I started to hit the wall at various times during the day – it seems my body now needs constant food and without it, it does not want to run at full capacity. We are eating a huge amount, it seems appropriate when you consider we are essentially doing back to back marathons each day on the water. Marty has experienced much the same effect though he started to feel the effects almost five days after I did – I of course have been telling him that that proves he was fatter than me when we started…DT
