Notes

Ran with Henz, RJ, Carson and one other person from NCC. We headed out to Danada from Herick trail. It was a very humid morning after all that rain last night and a little warm too. We stopped briefly in Danada to let guys use the bathroom and get a drink. We headed back to CNN to drop others off at 90 minutes and I got another drink while we were there. RJ stopped to dump and must have fallen in or got stuck for a while. We took off South on the river trail to get in the last 30 minutes. I was still feeling fine at that point. Henz and I broke away from RJ but weren't flying. AT about 1:45 things started to suddenly get difficult. My hips were really tightening up and other muscles too. I hit a wall and started to struggle. I hung on for a while but fell away from Henz with about a mile to go. I finished up and was completely exhausted.

I tried a little geeky experiment this morning. I weighed myself when I first woke up and was 147.2 lbs. I brought the scale with me and got back on after the run. Despite two stops for a big drink, I was down to 139.6. That's 7.6 lbs. difference. A gallon of water weighs 8.34 lbs. I'm pretty sure that wall I hit was my body being dehydrated.

The time and distance were a guess. I'll update the time after Henz posts. I was 32 seconds behind him. Too many trails and running in circles while people shit to map.
