Woke up and left without hydrating. Dumb. By mile 4 I was longing for a drink.
Around 6.5 miles, I saw the stash another runner had placed at the base of a tree. A couple of gatorades and waters, the orange gatorade called out to me. I debated taking her, telling myself that I would return one to the site immediately after I finished. Ultimately, I decided against it. The runners might arrive before I could return it and the idea of going to buy an orange gatorade and drive it to the site sounded like a lot of work.
Total time 75:57, 7:36 average. Very enjoyable except the thirst part. |
