Notes

GLR A-16

Hot. Hot. Hot. Afternoon for day 1. Matty Gadz dabbed off to me like the king he is and I continued along the High Country Pathway. Went a bit too far out and a T.G.O.T guy spun me around after we didn't see blue dots. Found the right path and just followed the markers. Ended up in the middle of a big field and stopped to see a concurrent guy running down a two track. He said he saw blue dots down to the right, so I ran that way and we all hopped back on the trail. I'm not quite sure what happened there but it didn't seem to take too much time off. There was a weird boardwalk that made me nervous that I wasn't on the right path and at the end it was a thigh deep gross swamp water to get out the the road. Trudged, surprisingly, through that and started to roll once I was on the solid ground. Very quickly got very hot and had to slow it down a bit. Towards the end, my shoe came untied, I promised myself I could tie it if I didn't see the exchange but luckily (or unluckily) I did about 800m out. Dumped a lot of water on myself after this one.

feeling validated that we got confused by the same 2 things on this leg, but wish someone had turned me around on the two-track and that there had actually been a river to cool off :'(
