50 minutes exercise bike

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.
