Sixteenth Blog - A typical "winters" day

I guess it was inevitable..the heat, 3-4 hours of training a day and a sneaky 3 glasses of wine and it was "hello heat exhaustion...". Wednesday morning my body basically decided to put on the screen saver until further notice and I had no choice but to go horizontal with buckets of re-hydration fluids for a couple of days. Luckily I did not miss much. The ocean has been grim for the past 3 days - the French mistress is in one of her inexplicable bad moods I guess.... Although starting to feel the withdrawal symptoms from not surfing for 3 (!) days, my body has come back stronger than ever after its little sabbatical. I did my usual training program this morning and for a change it didn't feel like my arms where going to fall off. There is hope that I'll be able to give Juan a go when he is ready next week after all!!

Today the locals told me "winter" has arrived here in Hermosa. I am still trying to figure out exactly what the difference is. In Sweden we would just call it a cloudy summers day.... It is true that the temperature has gone from somewhere around 32-34 to 26-28 and as I went for my morning walk I did put on a tanktop over my bikini, but it is not like I am scraping frost off my car in the morning. I have never been a fan of winter (unless there is snow and a mountain nearby..) but this I can get use to!
