Arrived at Bobbletts at 11:24
Arrived at Day Creek at 1:24 (lots of walking, very hot on this section---needed all water)
Left Day Creek at 1:24 and power hiked the entire way with a few spots of running, arrived at Blue Ridge parkway at 2:04 (40 mins).
Hammered with trashed quads and queasy stomach to 1 mile to go mark (2:26). Arrived at finish at 14:33:50. PR!!
Nutrition: Took Perp and half a bladder of water, 5 servings Hgel. New Perp at Camping Gap and Headforemost. Eggs at Jennings, New Perp and Hgel at Bearwallow and half a burger. Needed all water at Bobblets and more bloks.
