Notes

Leg C-8 "Celica GT Sports Coupe Tour de Mayfield" (rated 4 difficulty). Laughably easy run comparatived to everything else i ran over the weekend, but I had nothing left, and it was HOT AS HELL. Jeff was planning on running the previous leg and this one and I was going to take is 2.4 miler later, but when he got to the exchange he looked like death warmed over and asked if I was good to go. I was not, but I lied and jumped into it. This was a jogfest on flat dirt-packed roads that should've been super easy. It was not, if only for the condition of my blistered feet and destroyed legs. The only thing that kept me going was the fact that I KNEW it was over once I finished. Only difficult part was that the instructions said to "hang a right at the Y in the road for .6 miles to the exchange." Turns out it was almost a mile from that point...I started to worry that the end might never come!

All in all, it was a great experience, and I would definitely do it again. I will need to get into MUCH better shape to handle it though, and would concentrate on getting on trails more often. I don't know where I could go to simulate running in that much sand, but it would be worth investigating.

Great weekend, I had a blast destroying myself and I want revenge on Bull Gap Run if I ever get the chance!
