8 x 6 = the number of times I have had to sit out due to illness since H-squad launched.
It's only month three.

And this means…plenty of time to write a blog.

So, you want to apply for the world race? Well prepare your body.

Because….

There's gonna be maggots/mold in your bread loaf.
So eat around it and don't tell your teammates.

Throwing up in a squatty potty is awkward.
So you'll sit on the front porch holding back your hair while street dogs watch.

You're gonna get gas in front of your new translator for the month.
So you'll attempt to hold it in pain.

You're gonna fall asleep everywhere.
So learn to be the big spoon to your day pack.

Your outdoor shower has holes in the wall.
So stuff your dirty shirt in it and shower on.

Your squatty potty is on a hill.
So you'll have to learn the right angle.

You're gonna get stung by a bee.
But try to run away anyways because it's funny to watch.

You're gonna want to bring a buddy when you squat in the woods.
So they get a good laugh when bystanders see your moon.

You're gonna poop in a beautiful field of sunflowers.
So don't forget to pack toilet paper. Everyday.

You're gonna forget toilet paper one day.
So you'll sacrifice your precious underwear.

You have diarrhea.
So….good luck.
