My third ACI. What an experience. The weather was pretty cooperative in the mid 50s and cloudy to start. The humidity seemed to build until midday or so but there was a breeze from the east which helped, espcailly after Sargent. I don't know how many times in the first 4 hours I stubbed my toes but I was sure that my toes were bleeding as I ascended the bubbles. This is where the idea of quitting first crept into my head. Quickly downed some Coke and didn't give it any more thought and limited myself just to a couple of minutes to get moving again. Really had thought it through about quitting there.
Coming off the descent of Pemetic and climbing The West face of Cadillac thoughts of quitting again crept in. But once I descended off Dorr things seem to click okay to the point that I figured if I drove this far I might as well finish this damn thing.
Gave it All that I had on the day.
