May 12 - just south of Comox

We are camped in an old woman's yard

I wiped out going downhill at 30km/h
my knuckles bleed
my side stings with road rash

spinach for iron tonight
fighting the tired blood
(can men be anaemic? - I want to know)

I am near exhausted
crashed down from adrenaline kick

Derek kind made dinner
I needed that
and I am happy
to be outside
in a tent
